HAL Share Price in Focus As It is to Deliver First 2 Tejas Mk-1A Jets in September, Govt Plans Order for 97 More

Defence Secretary R K Singh confirmed that Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) will deliver 2 Tejas Mk-1A fighter jets by the end of September 2025. The jets will include full weapons integration.

Fresh Contract in Pipeline

After the delivery, the government is likely to sign a new contract for 97 Tejas jets, worth around ₹67,000 crore. Singh said HAL will be given this order only after proving timely delivery.

Current Fleet and Pending Orders

• Around 38 Tejas jets are already serving in the Indian Air Force.
• Another 80 are under production as part of a ₹48,000 crore deal signed in February 2021.
• The delivery was delayed mainly due to engine supply issues from US-based GE Aerospace.

Importance of Tejas for IAF

The Tejas Mk-1A will replace the ageing MiG-21 fighter fleet.

• IAF’s squadron strength has fallen to 31, below the sanctioned 42.
• Tejas is designed for air defence, maritime reconnaissance, and strike roles.
• HAL aims to perfect the platform by integrating radar and Indian weapons.
