That looks like a gas turbine engine to me. For the IAC? And in the background, are those the radars for the IAC? Or are those ground station radars?

this is GE LM2500 engine to power the Shivalik class or the Kolkata class.
The same engines are used for the IAC also, 4 of them. And looking at the radars in the background, I am hoping this is part of the infrastructure for the IAC.

In fact I dont think this is the LM2500 as it looks too big. From other pictures on the net, the LM2500 is much smaller
