- On Thursday, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd issued a clarification from Bengaluru, confirming five LCA Mk1A fighters are fully ready and nine more have been built and flown, assuring delivery guidance for the current Financial Year.
- Supply-Chain issues tied to GE engines pushed deliveries beyond last year, HAL said it has received five engines and aligns future deliveries with production schedules.
- The Indian Air Force will review the project in May this year before deciding on acceptance, having ordered 180 aircraft in two tranches with timelines set after the review.
- HAL is holding active discussions with the Indian Air Force to enable the earliest deliveries and says design and development issues are being resolved quickly with a positive supply position.
- Several structurally complete jets have flown but await GE engines, with the nine completed jets undelivered; this production–engine mismatch draws public and strategic interest and affects the rollout schedule.
