Just to correct a few things - SFPs or PTFs (same thing, different naming convention) are hardly a rarity and are common place globally to move aircraft for maintenance reasons, incidents, commercial / repossessions, usually with conditions in place. EASA have given operators 5 FC to get back to base or a place of their choosing. It is a perfectly sensible thing for regulators to do and the risk factor is low.
Re the A320neo - the incidents in India are related to the PW1100 GTF, not the LEAP, which is a longstanding issue.
