The engine is now ready for real-world performance evaluations aboard a specialized flying test bed (FTB). In this phase of testing, the dry-Kaveri engine will be mounted on an FTB to evaluate its response to various flight conditions

It seems they are going back to Gromov again.

Strange of them to talk breathlessly about going back to flight testing that was cited as "successful" a decade and half ago.

Decades of development in the Kaveri but still no domestic inflight testing :

It seems this is dry Kaveri they are trying to test. So it's just to try and power the drone they are trying to build in future, its not for a fighter jet engine per se.
