Fleet upgrade: Deal for 97 Tejas firmed up

September 26, 2025

|

The New Indian Express

IN the face of fast-depleting combat squadrons of the Indian Air Force, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has inked a deal with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for 97 LCA Mk1A aircraft (68 fighters & 29 Twin Seaters) with associated equipment for the Air Force (IAF) at ₹62,370 crore.

It was only last month that the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) gave its nod for the production of Tejas Mk1A, the newer and improved version of India's single-engine, 4.5 generation delta wing multirole combat aircraft designed by the Aeronautical Development Agency.

Tejas Mk1A will play an important role in mitigating the decrease in the quantity of combat jets and the overall dip in the number of combat squadrons. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) had given its approval in November 2023.
