India Advances Indigenous Tejas Fighter Jet Programme with Mk2 Development
India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is advancing its indigenous fighter jet programme with the Tejas Mk1A nearing completion and preparations underway for the next-generation Tejas Mk2. The Mk2, a heavier and more capable medium-weight fighter with enhanced weapon stations and the GE-414 engine, follows government investment and India-US cooperation on engine manufacturing. Recent supply chain disruptions affecting the Tejas engine have eased, allowing the programme to progress. The Indian Air Force continues to expand its fleet and develop advanced indigenous aviation capabilities.
