About TEJAS

The TEJAS is an Indian fighter jet developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy in collaboration with the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA). TEJAS was the result of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) program that began in the 1980s to replace IAF's ageing MiG-21 fighters.

The TEJAS is the second supersonic fighter developed by HAL. In January 2021, India approved a deal worth Rs 48,000 crore to procure 83 indigenously-developed TEJAS.
