In a landmark development, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) clinched its largest-ever indigenous military hardware order worth Rs 65,000 crore. The Defence Ministry awarded the contract for 97 LCA Mark 1A fighter jets, signaling a significant boost to India's defence manufacturing sector. The advanced version of the Tejas aircraft will replace aging MiG fleet, enhancing the Indian Air Force's combat capabilities. This move aligns with Prime Minister Modi's emphasis on promoting indigenous production. HAL's success underscores India's commitment to self-reliance in defence and strengthens its position in the global aerospace market.
