The delay was due to engine supply

The main reason behind the delay in delivery of Tejas is the untimely supply of engines. A contract with General Electric (GE) for the Tejas Mark-1A was signed in 2021, according to which India was expected to receive 99 ‘F404’ engines. Now the supply of this engine has started slowly and this project has gained momentum. After air force chiefs expressed displeasure over the delay at last year’s ‘Aero India’ show, HAL has accelerated the work.

Why is ‘Tejas’ important for the Air Force?

At present Indian Air Force requires 42 fighter squadrons to meet the challenge of future wars, but actually only 29 squadrons are available. ‘Tejas’ will be a very important link to fill this huge gap.

• Existing Fleet: The Air Force has already inducted 38 of the 40 Tejas (Mark-1) aircraft into the fleet.
• New Order: HAL has received an order for 83 Tejas Mark-1A aircraft and has contracted for another 97 aircraft.
• Future Planning: With the help of these planes, the aim is to create a total of 9 new squadrons in the Air Force in the coming years.

Not only India, but also global defense experts have drawn attention to this delivery, which will take place at the end of April. This will once again prove India’s indigenous defense production capability.
