The cabinet committee on security (CCS) on Wednesday cleared the ₹48,000-crore purchase of 83 light combat aircraft (LCA-Tejas) from state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), in the biggest contract awarded to India’s homegrown military aviation industry.
The approval by the CCS, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comes 10 months after the defence acquisition council in March 2020 greenlighted the procurement of 83 of the more advanced Mark 1A version of the LCA.
