I know Rajat Pandit is not a very popular source to quote but see what Sourav Jha have to say about this. As far as FOC for the Tejas Mk-1 is concerned, 90% of radar & EW functionality had been achieved according to people in the know. The full functionality software upgrade could even be...

No, indigenous Tejas light combat aircraft is not getting final operational clearance (FOC) just yet! It’s just that the designs have been frozen to ensure production facilities are not left idle. FOC will come only after all systems are integrated & proven in extensive trials!

itseems legit that earlier PIB release was kinda misleading

FOC pushed back indeterminately! HAL has delivered 10 IOC Tejas, will (miraculously?) deliver 6 more by Mar 31! 4 trainer manufacture pending trainer design completion by ADA!! SNAFU all the way! Happy 2019!

It's self-explanatory Progress In Production of Tejas Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has already achieved Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) in December 2013 for fighter version of aircraft and 10 fighter version aircraft have been delivered to Indian Air Force. These aircraft are equipped with...

FOC delays again! Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Defence 31 DEC 2018 3:48PM by PIB Delhi Progress In Production of Tejas Light Combat Aircraft Tejas has already achieved Initial Operational Clearance (IOC) in December 2013 for fighter version of aircraft and 10...

and we'll end up calling it indigenous, Meh!

1) will they provide transfer of technology and then BEL or HAL would produce it here?

Contract to Elisra is worth about INR 170 crore ($25 million). Is it for development work or they are providing the equipment?

What choices do we have? and BTW when did I say the things we are making are useless. Of course HAL acquired a lot of assembling/manufacturing know how building foreign designed aircrafts except of few technologies likes of modern jet engine which they are learning by developing one of their own.

Read the blue part again and analyze it more rationally They are making 100 percent of what was shared with them. What about the technology that wasn't shared with them?

Again there is no mention of HAL making AL-31 FP engine 100 percent from raw material. No matter whatever the way you put it, the fact remains the same.

Again and again you are just spinning theories but haven't put anything substantial to back up your tall claims.

You must back up your claims with credible source like I posted above not just making tall claims. You are saying we are importing 25 percent of SU-30 parts from Russia but making 100 percent of engine here. Do you really think any sane person would believe that.

This is what people need to understand that they are not sharing us the know how of their most exotic technologies like the engine core they have acquired after decades of research.

It doesn't mean either that we are making the engine 100% here in India as this guy claims and I am quite sure among those 10500 parts we are importing some sophisticated engine parts as well that no one will part away with.

Can you guyz point me to the "100 percent" part?

same with @Kshithij guy who claim we make engines of SU-30 100 here from raw material
