Kaveri engine: Tenders are running on social media regarding the Cauvery engine. Defense experts and hundreds of people have posted on social media on Monday (May 26, 2025) and demanded the central government to give priority to its development and speed up. This engine is a major discovery of India’s self -reliance in military aviation technology, so trend is being run on X in the name of Fund Cauvery. Many people have appealed to PM Modi to allocate funds and resources for this.
To make the target fighter jet of the Cauvery engine, India’s dependence on foreign engines is to reduce self -sufficiency in defense technology. The strategic importance of self -sufficiency in defense technology has been emphasized through #Fundkaveriengine trend.
What is the Cauvery Engine Project?
The engine is an indigenous jet engine developed by the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) of India, a laboratory under the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). According to DRDO, it is a low-bypass twin-splice turbofan engine designed to generate an thrust of about 80 Kn, which was initially intended to provide strength to Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas.

The Cauvery engine has a flat-rated designed to reduce the thrust loss in high temperature and high speed conditions. Its twin-lane Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) ensures accurate control with manual backup for additional reliability. This design enables the engine to perform better in many operating conditions.
What is the purpose of the fund Cauvery Engine Trend?
The project, launched in the 1980s, was aimed at reducing India’s dependence on foreign engines for its fighter aircraft, but faced challenges such as the lack of the thrust, weight issues and delays due to restrictions after India’s 1998 nuclear tests. It was separated from the Tejas program in 2008, but now it is being developed for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as the deadly stealth UCAV, which has recently progressed in testing during the flight.
