IAF to get at least 6 Tejas jets by March: HAL Chief D K Sunil

Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will deliver at least six Tejas Light Combat Aircraft to the Indian Air Force by March 2026. Delays are attributed to GE Aerospace's late engine deliveries, with only one engine received instead of the expected twelve in 2023. Despite this, HAL has six aircraft ready and anticipates producing sixteen jets next year, pending consistent engine supply.
