Q. Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mark 1A has been developed by which organization?
Answer: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
Notes: GE Aerospace has started delivering F404-IN20 jet engines to HAL for Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mark 1A after delays. The first engine was shipped on March 26, 2025, and will arrive in India in April. HAL plans to deliver 12 Tejas Mk1A jets in 2025 and later increase production to 24 jets per year. The Indian Air Force operates 31 fighter squadrons, far below the required 42.5, making these deliveries crucial. Tejas LCA Mk1A, developed by HAL, is an upgraded variant with 40+ improvements in combat, survivability, and efficiency.
