It is funny, whenever the Brits and BAE name potential new partners they never mention India, only Canada, Germany and Saudi. It is literally only Indian press naming India.

I guess most countries know having any reliance on India or HAL in any project is a receipe for disaster and they will end up haggling over tiny issues as Indians do by nature, and India has no tech to share.

If they have cash rich partners in line, there is no incentive at all to partner with India

GE may have been pushed into this deal by the American government as part of Quad and India's role in the "Indo-Pacific" region to build up India's military capability against China.

Sindoor showed how ineffective India is against a country that operates Chinese technology, let alone demonstrate that they "could" be effective against Chine.

India's geo-strategic role has taken a dive and crashed and burned.

Given that the "Indo-Pacific" has now been renamed to the ""Pacific" region, and the Quad is basically dead and India has no geo-strategic role in the middle east(Pakistan has taken that successfully recently) then there is no real push from the American Government on GE to push this deal through.

GE are obviously not happy with any transfer of technology as they prefer India as with any client, to be an off the the shelf customer, so hiking the price x3 is another way of saying this is "over" and for India to "get real" ..

The French are even more protective of their technology than the Americans.
