|December 08, 2023
The Chairman and Managing Director of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), CB Ananthakrishnan, revealed on Wednesday that Nigeria, Philippines, Argentina, and Egypt have expressed keen interest in procuring India's indigenously-developed Tejas Light Combat aircraft.

Specifically highlighting Nigeria, Philippines, and Egypt's interest in acquiring the Tejas Light Combat aircraft, Ananthakrishnan stated that talks were progressing positively, indicating the enthusiasm these countries hold for the Indian-made fighter jets.
However, Ananthakrishnan acknowledged the potential complication regarding the supply of Tejas jets to Argentina, given that the aircraft includes components sourced from the United Kingdom. The UK's historical embargo on military sales to Argentina following the 1982 Falklands War might pose hurdles in supplying hardware manufactured in the UK to Argentina, raising challenges for India in facilitating such transactions.
