- A day after India achieved major success in the space sector with Chandrayaan-3, the indigenous aerospace sector is all set to receive a major boost as the Indian Air Force has plans to place orders for around 100 more LCA Mark1A fighter jets. The Indian Air Force (IAF) plans to buy these Made in India aircraft to replace the MiG-21 fighter jets in its fleet has been submitted to the Defence Ministry and all other stakeholders in the national security establishment. The decision to buy around 100 more of these planes came around the time when Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari held a review meeting of the indigenous fighter jet programme with all entities involved including the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. “The Indian Air Force has decided that it would buy around 100 more of these highly capable LCA Mark-1A fighter jets from the HAL. “The proposal in this regard has been submitted to the Defence Ministry. The project is expected to receive clearance soon to give the biggest ever boost to the private defence aerospace sector,” defence officials told ANI. The order would mean that the LCA Tejas fighters would re-enter the Indian Air Force in very large numbers. The IAF will have 40 LCA, over 180 LCA Mark-1A and at least 120 LCA Mark-2 planes in the next 15 years. The last order for LCA Mark1A was for 83 aircraft and the first plane would be delivered around February 2024. LCA Mark 1A is the advanced version of Tejas aircraft. The LCA Mark 1A plane has more advanced avionics and radars than the initial 40 LCAs being supplied to the Air Force. The indigenous content in the new LCA Mark1As is going to be more than 65 per cent. The Indian Air Force chief in the project review meeting stated that the LCA has been the flag bearer of the force’s efforts towards the indigenisation of its aircraft fleet. The programme has been the harbinger of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives of the nation. More importantly, it is a flag bearer of India's self-reliance in the aerospace sector. During the review, it was brought out that all contracted fighter variants of the LCA Mk 1 had been delivered to the IAF. Representatives of HAL had assured the chief of the timely delivery of the contracted twin-seaters in the coming months, as well. Further to the LCA Mk 1, 83 LCA Mk-1A aircraft have also been contracted by the IAF in 2021. The Chairman and Managing Director of HAL had assured those present that the deliveries of this advanced variant of the LCA would commence by February 2024.

Jai hind Jai Ho IAF jai Ho namo namo 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Buy HAL Shares for Long Term
👍👍
Actuallly its bad decision they could ordered mk1a or tedbf insted of old model
Fleet strength needs to be maintained...we will soon be grounding all of mig-21 followed by mig29s.
And to be frank it is not a bad aircraft at all for Border patrol and peace time surveillance...even for intercept and light attack it does the job.
More advanced fighters will be added as well as soon as they become available for induction
Mark 1a is ordered and mig 21 need to be replaced
😂 From where Tedbf came in ??? It is yet not designed and tested .....And more over it is for Navy not IAF!
Sasta nasha😂
Pagal hokya
Any update on MRFA? If we want to become a Vishwa Guru then we must have strong Army,Navy Air force. Government should place an order of 300 Rafael fighter jets with full technology transfer, that too with a urgent basis, otherwise if China attacks us then we will have to again go to United Nations and we know how incompetent that body is. Every government only gives Churan of self reliance or "Aatma - Nirbhar" that's a 75 years old slogan btw 😂. We are still not able to develop our indigenous fighter jet engine. That doesn't mean our scientific research is bad but the reality is not a single government has given any kind of funds for reasearch and development.
🔥🔥🔥
Good decision
🙏🇮🇳🔥🚩🚩🚩
What is this 1jet cost around 700cr which is more than advanced jets then what is the use of made in india.
80M dollar is better deal since u get weapons maintenance full program and 5 billion dollar are make in india😂😂 do not even understand deal
Some thing big scam happening in our defence sector last time rafales also buy for double rates and us predator drones also deal for 500cr per drone which is 5 times more than actual cost and now base variant of tejas 1a cost 700cr with that we can buy f16.
abe jahil kuch pata na ho to mat bola kar pahle thoda padh likh le deal ke bare me
Lodu weapon package and extra spare parts Also there !
Just have a look at why after some damage South Korea simple keep there damaged f35 on ground cuz repairing cost literally half of the jet cost☹
F16 not better jet than tejas !
Chomu hokya yr
