That's the problem with Tejas; it won't work.
M53 is substantially larger&won't fit, and it is also much less efficient(SFC) - and for tejas, range is specifically a problem(mk.1)/key requirement(mk.2). It is designed to work specifically off small, powerful yet efficient engine. Which is why the can't jump off this horse, unless they pay someone for developing their specific version(which they did - to GE).

Basically, to make M53 work, they should ve bought M2000 line back then. Which they of course should've and know that. But now, there's no going back.

Yea, it's path-dependency. It's hard to watch. Basically every step they take is wrong.

Adjust the design and have two smaller engines.

Yes, and now they need to go back and do it properly asap. They will never be able to catch up at this rate. Skipping steps doesn't work. And everyone is teaching them improperly on purpose, and laughing. The situation is hilarious. India's desperation for a tech transfer is so obvious, and their position is so weak they cannot secure any actual support. The French are just laughing to the bank.

What's stopping India from investing/buying out a European industrial company of small to medium size like in Austria, Czech Republic etc, to absorb technology and know-how? They could offer a sweet deal worth $$$, the opportunity for the chosen company to be an embedded partner in future development, and geopolitical ties with New Delhi. The deindustrialization in Europe right now should give this idea further impetus too.

So the very definition of “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.”

This is an official Indian Air Force (IAF) document seeking bridge support from Safran for the entire fleet of 36 Rafale jets currently in service. If any Rafale aircraft had been lost during Operation Sindoor, why would the IAF be issuing a tender for bridge support covering all 36 Rafales?
