Will LCA be ordered in larger numbers and what is the contribution of the industry to the project?
We’re looking at a performance-based, time-wise plan to integrate a new AESA radar and electronic warfare suite on the fighter by 2018. If we keep up to our promise, I don’t think the order will stop at the current 123. Defence ministry is planning a single engine fighter to be made in India with the industry but even after that, there’s a gap of 200 odd fighters that we can make good. We have planned our manufacturing capability at 18-20 fighters a year and have started subcontracting – the wing to L&T and central fuselage to Vem Technologies. If they start delivering, it’ll enhance our capability.

39000 crore for just the production line. There must be some mistake.

Here is an stupid question..
In the above pic we can see LCA navy with a centre line drop tank while airforce LCA carries them on pylon.

Now I have yet to see a pic of airforce LCA in which all pylons plus centre line is loaded. May be I missed such pics but if not then why is mostly center line is left empty with airforce LCA???
