So called indigenous planed started in 1983 yet missed another deadline set for June 2018 for fully combat ready. This project is becoming a white elephant for defence cocnern of inda as it keep missing its deadline. Also Indian navy already rejected its airfram for naval purposes. May I ask where are those scientist & engineers calimed by foreign minister of india. I beleive they all are busy in preparing mission of Mars. B/w if India need any help Pakistan engineers are glad to help them in this project & many others....

May I ask how many active squadron Indian air force have for Tejas? Don't say that a squadron can be of two jets as well? Babu bhai kabi ura ga ya plane kabi ura ga, Utta ley is plane ko utta le

NEW DELHI: The indigenous Tejas fighter, first permitted manner again in 1983, has missed yet one more deadline to change into absolutely combat-ready. After a number of goal revisions, the federal government had repeatedly declared during the last couple of years in Parliament that the jet would get its remaining operational clearance (FOC) by June 2018.

However the single-engine Tejas remains to be far-off from reaching the FOC, amidst galloping prices and operational considerations, say defence ministry officers. The estimated total improvement and manufacturing value of the primary 123 lightweight Tejas – solely 9 delivered until now of their preliminary operational clearance (IOC) configuration – has additionally zoomed previous Rs 75,000 crore.

India desperately wants its personal home-grown fighter, with IAF down to simply 31 fighter squadrons (every with 18 jets) when at the very least 42 are required to sort out Pakistan and China. The free-fall in numbers will proceed, regardless of induction of 36 French twin-engine Rafale fighters in 2019-2022 underneath the Rs 59,000 crore contract of September 2016, resulting from progressive retirement of 10 squadrons of previous MiG-21s and MiG-27s.

India in fact additionally relaunched its Rs 1.25 lakh crore ($20 billion) venture to accumulate 114 fighters, the majority of them to be constructed domestically, in April. Nevertheless it’s nonetheless early days for this long-drawn contest amongst F/A-18 and F-16 (US), Gripen-E (Sweden), MiG-35 (Russia), Rafale (France) and Eurofighter Storm, for which the six aviation majors submitted preliminary bids on Thursday and Friday.
Consequently, the persevering with delay in Tejas, which achieved its IOC in December 2013 to principally signify airworthiness, stays a giant operational fear.

In 2011, DRDO had grandiosely introduced Tejas would get FOC — which suggests the jets are prepared for battle — by 2012.
Six years down the road, it stays a pipe dream. “Tejas has achieved vital positive factors however its total venture administration must be overhauled. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd is much away from delivering 16 Tejas per yr as required. MoD can be analyzing the Rs 50,000 crore being demanded by HAL for producing 83 Tejas Mark-1A fighters, with 43 enhancements over the present model,” stated an official.

For now, Tejas must display its “engine relight and air-to-air refuelling” capabilities in addition to firing from its twin-barrel GSh-23 cannon. The Mark-1A enhancements embrace higher maintainability, AESA (lively electronically scanned array) radar to switch current mechanically-steered radar, and superior digital warfare to jam enemy radars and missiles.

Although Navy has rejected its plane carrier-capable variant, IAF has put its weight behind Tejas. Along with the “dedicated” 123 jets, it’s open to inducting one other 201 Tejas Mark-II jets if they’re solely new fighters with significantly better avionics and radars, enhanced gas and weapons carrying capability, and extra highly effective engines, as earlier reported by TOI.

I don't think that can be labeled as laging behind.Pakistan didn't design JF 17.It is China who gave us the tech.But, India seems to create a fight jet on it's own.So, i can understand the delay.

Better if you read the facts before commenting this so called indigenous aircart has famous joke in indian:
(1) American GE''s F414 Engines
(2) Israeli EL/M-2032 radar
(3) Israeli and Russian Missiles and Armament like Derby, Python, R-73
(4) British Martin-Baker Ejection Seat
(5) American Moog Actuators
Outdated even before First Flight.
I enjoyed ur statement " fight jet on its own" ;);)

All those outdated parts are imported indeed but the indigenous design ruined them further....just because of that design those parts are now performing more like 'made in india'.....another shining example of shining india.

Btw! The only fighter jet tejas can take on is tejas itself....others will piss all over it.
