In a big push to Make in India, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Wednesday approved the procurement of 83 Tejas Mk-1A fighter jets for the Indian Air Force from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, in the largest-ever indigenous military aviation deal worth around Rs 48,000 crores.
The CCS today approved the largest indigenous defence procurement deal worth about Rs 48,000 crores to strengthen the IAFs fleet of home-grown fighter jet LCA-Tejas. This deal will be a game-changer for self-reliance in Indian defence manufacturing, defence minister Rajnath Singh tweeted.
The defence minister said Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas will be the backbone of the IAFs fighter fleet in the years to come. LCA-Tejas incorporates a large number of new technologies, many of which were never attempted in India. The indigenous content of LCA-Tejas is 50 per cent in Mk1A variant, which will be enhanced to 60 per cent, Mr Singh added.
The Tejas Mk-1A deliveries are expected to begin in three years.
The CCS approved the procurement of 73 Tejas Mk-1A fighter aircraft and 10 Tejas Mk-1 trainer aircraft at the cost of Rs 45,696 crores, along with the design and development of infrastructure sanctions worth Rs 1,202 crores.
