Is The Indian Air Force Likely To Get Its 1st LCA Mk1A HAL Tejas By Mid-2025?

The HAL LCA (light combat aircraft) Tejas is a domestically produced Indian delta-wing multirole fighter jet designed by India’s Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and built by India’s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Tejas was built to serve the Indian Air Force and represents a significant step in India’s quest to develop its domestic defense industry. As with many fighter jet programs, the Tejas has faced delays, but it seems that the Indian Air Force will once again start taking delivery of the fighter jets soon (deliveries have been delayed due to General Electric’s supply chain woes).
