IAF grounds its entire Tejas fleet
The New Indian Express Kottayam
|February 24, 2026
THE Indian Air Force (IAF) has grounded its entire Tejas fleet as a precautionary measure following a runway incident earlier this month, even as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Monday described the episode as a “minor technical incident”.
According to defence sources, the IAF has initiated a comprehensive technical review across critical systems to determine the cause of the incident. There has been no official statement from the IAF so far on either the incident or the temporary grounding.
It also remains unclear whether the airframe of the jet that skidded off the runway will be written off.
