Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is poised to deliver the inaugural Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mark1A to the Indian Air Force (IAF) by March 31. This marks a significant milestone in the Rs 48,000-crore Defence Ministry deal for 83 Tejas Mark 1A jets. With over 65% indigenous components, the Tejas Mark 1A underscores India's prowess in aerospace technology. Planned deployment at Rajasthan's Nal airbase strengthens defense capabilities near the Pakistan border. HAL aims to fulfill the IAF's requirements and boost the nation's defense preparedness.
