What is needed is spin off turbo prop engines from Kaveri Engine Core. Planes are build around engines, Establish base lines home grown engines and design planes around them as first iteration- and for first iteration forgo world class.

Afraid to experiment with human lives - go for large scaled unmanned/RPA aircraft and test your engines on them. Even think about unmanned Transport. Its time to go unorthodox

Gas Trubines will involve multiple static tests before going to On air testing. So if we are building Engines so we will have large number of static tests.

Engine is one part. But what about Plane body, Avionics is major part and Millions of parts and supplier base which were simply tuned to supply only to Boeing and Aribus.

One way is to derive learning from Tejas Composite body to commercial airlines. Avionics is heavy weight work and requires major support.

How to deal with vendors is next big ask?

GOI footing the bill is the only answer. An NAL project with HAL, TASL as production partner will work out. But which aircraft we need to target. A320/B737 or small 100 seater like Embraer or simple Turbo prop like ATRs.

Partner with Embraer for making transport aircraft and tankers, from ERJ 145 to C-390, in exchange for SSLV/PSLV technology. That is the one way I see. Brazil would definitely want a piece of the space industry pie and we can provide it, in exchange for giving us aircraft manufacturing capabilities. "ISRO's cost effective launches" advantage vanished or would vanish with Falcon 9 or Starship anyway, and even if Brazil gives Musk the permanent cold-shoulder (likely), the Chinese and Blue Origin would permanently keep us at bay.
