In a significant development for India’s indigenous fighter program, Bengaluru-based Varchas Aerospace Private Limited has been selected by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to replace a critical component of the Tejas Mk-1A aircraft. This move comes after a recent Danish export blacklist on a previously sourced engine charge amplifier threatened to delay the Tejas program.
The blacklisting was due to concerns regarding potential re-export to Russia in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. To address this challenge and ensure program continuity, HAL entrusted Varchas Aerospace with the development of a locally manufactured engine charge amplifier.
According to sources at idrw.org, testing of prototypes has already begun. Once HAL approves the final design, Varchas Aerospace will commence deliveries, ensuring minimal disruption to the Tejas Mk-1A program. This swift action by both HAL and Varchas Aerospace demonstrates India’s commitment to self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
