Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is poised to commence the production of LCA Tejas Mk1A fighter jets at its newly restructured Aircraft Division in Nasik by the end of next month. With most of the skilled workforce in place and the necessary machinery and tooling installed, the plant is rapidly progressing towards its operational readiness.
The initial assembly of the Tejas Mk1A is scheduled for December 2024, marking a significant milestone in India’s indigenous fighter jet production. The Nasik facility aims to deliver three aircraft in the financial year 2024-25, followed by a steady production rate of eight jets annually thereafter.
In addition to the Tejas Mk1A, the Nasik plant will also undertake the manufacturing of Hindustan Turbo Trainer-40 (HTT-40) aircraft, designed to serve as Stage-I trainer aircraft for the Indian Air Force.
This strategic expansion of HAL’s production capabilities is a crucial step towards enhancing India’s self-reliance in the defense sector and meeting the growing requirements of the Indian Air Force.
