Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is scheduled to meet with the Indian Air Force (IAF) to review the delayed delivery of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk1A. The aircraft was initially expected to be delivered by March 2025-26, but various challenges have pushed this timeline back. HAL's Chief Managing Director (CMD) previously stated that at least five aircraft are ready, but the IAF's requirements must be met first. The last review occurred in December, and the upcoming meeting, likely in late April or early May, aims to clarify the delivery schedule. HAL's production capacity is currently limited to 24 aircraft per year, and while they have showcased 18 airframes, they have only received six engines from the United States. Supply chain issues and pending certifications have been cited as significant hurdles. The IAF has placed orders for 180 Tejas Mk1A aircraft, and adjustments to the specifications may be necessary to meet operational needs.
