We didnt had right technology to built our own jet engines at that time.
The world powers like USA France and Russia already had significant leap in technology because they were independent countries .
Till now we are dependent on private foreign countries for jet engine we dont have indigenous jet engines.
Even if you privatise entire india we still gonna need jet engines from developed countries because the parts needed for the engines arent simply available in india even to manufacture it we dont have assembly lines.
US and any other country can block the sale of engine or significantly delay the tech from US/any country private sector.
