New Delhi: The government proposes to export the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas to other countries. In this connection preliminary discussions have been held with a few friendly countries. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar informed the Lok Sabha about this in a written reply yesterday.
Presently, HAL has established facilities for manufacturing and delivery of 8 LCA per annum. The Tejas LCA is expected to get final operational clearance in a few months.
There is a plan to ramp up the production rate from 8 to 16 Aircraft per annum progressively by 2019-20.
