India plans to crank up Tejas production to stem IAF’s depletion in fighters
Thursday, 6 February 2025 India plans to increase Tejas jet production with deliveries of GE aero-engines starting March. Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) aims for 20 jets per year, potentially rising to 30. The crucial delivery of 99 GE-404 engines, already delayed by two years, will support this production aim.
An Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar fighter jet crashed in Panchkula, Haryana, after taking off from Ambala airbase for a routine training sortie. The pilot ejected safely before the crash, maneuvering the aircraft away from inhabited areas. The IAF confirmed that the crash was caused by a system malfunction. No casualties or injuries have been reported. Authorities have ordered a Court of Inquiry to investigate the incident.

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.
