Engine tech was sabotaged in the 60s itself. Indian experts were open in talking about their goals and ambitions in the western universities which was picked up by the Cya and they could reduce input to the Indian program effectively. Indian scientists were also regulated on their access to western universities and research after 1971.(India SU treaty)
The whole concept of dual use tech denial regime started with India experience. Check the wisconsin project.
India was the target of this project which started in 1986. This the RG govt era when India made strides in Agni and RV tech. Also they effectively created a global regime for tech denial and reduce the progress of WMD and missile proliferation.
