It will be interesting to see what kind of revenue AI will pull up due to change of location. Will they still charge INR 2500 (?) for business tickets?

Not just ADA but the current trend in most DRDO labs is to reduce permanent employees. Get work done by contract folks, apprentice trainees and sometimes interns.

Not IR...but that port has been there quite a while. IIRC, it is a spring loaded port which opens only during times when excessive air is needed by the engine...like take-off etc. I think the aux. port was added when F404-INS6 was installed as it was determined that engine needed more air flow rate.
