HAL to shed jet lag, step up Tejas Mk-1A output as first GE engine lands
Thursday, 27 March 2025 Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has received the first of 99 engines from General Electric for Tejas Mark-1A fighters after a two-year delay. This delivery is expected to boost the production of the indigenous jet, with HAL planning to increase its output significantly in the coming years.
India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force. These helicopters, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are equipped to operate in extreme conditions, making them ideal for deployment in sensitive areas like the Siachen glacier and Eastern Ladakh. With advanced features such as the ability to take off and land at altitudes of 5,000 meters, these helicopters will significantly enhance India's military capabilities in the face of regional threats, particularly from China and Pakistan.
