Per most of the media stories, only the “dry” Kaveri engine has a future. “Dry” is the term used for Kaveri without an afterburner. It also means Kaveri will never be a fighter jet engine.
Now this GoI press release says Raksha Mantri “witnessed the full afterburner engine test of the Kaveri engine” - which, if correct, means that the media does not have it quite right.
