The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to receive its first LCA Mark 1A fighter aircraft in July 2024, as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) accelerates its indigenous aircraft program. HAL plans to deliver 16 fighters to the IAF in 2024-25 and has established a new production line in Nashik to meet the growing requirements. The Ministry of Defence has asked HAL to meet the contract deadline of delivering 18 jets by March 2025, addressing supply chain issues. HAL is tasked with producing 180 Tejas aircraft over the next ten years. The aircraft were conceptualised, developed, ordered, and are ready for delivery under the PM @narendramodi govt.
