SAAB in the previous negotiation had informed India that it wants to set up a Joint venture with HAL for which it has asked for majority shareholding over 50% making it Major Partner in the Company .
SAAB wants 50+% in a new Jt. Venture Company or wants to buy up majority holding of PSU HAL? That is not clear. Presumably it wants to set up a separate entity together with HAL to make a new aircraft. In that case, SAAB will not have access to Tejas or its future iteration.

50%+ stake in a JV is OK. Why there is a need to question it.
LCA itself will not be produced by this JV, only some components.

It is better that components be made in India, rather than being imported. We shall lose control in case of imports. We need to substitute imported components, as well as redesign some to save space. I think the main requirement is internal EW systems, where HAL needs help. SAAB is the logical partner, as Gripen is almost same size as LCA, and IAF's wishlist more or less mirrors Gripen's capabilities.

Will India surrender its LCA-Tejas to Swedish firm SAAB
Published May 4, 2016
SOURCE: VISHAL KARPE / FOR MY TAKE / IDRW.ORG
DDMites on wild run over Tejas closing finishing line. Ridiculing themselves how much more!!!!

HAL also has failed to disclose why it needs SAAB’s Help in the development of Tejas MK-1A and what area of work will be awarded to SAAB in the development of upgraded LCA-Tejas . IAF has asked for over 40 modifications in Tejas MK-1A but many of them can be done in house but it seems deadline for less than 2 years is allowing SAAB to get a favorable deal on its side .
This section clearly speaks how clueless these DDMites are.

For general information, Tejas MK-1A is just IFR installation, rearrangement of avionics and electronics, a podded jammer and an indo isreali AESA MMR.

TKS-3 has almost 10 times wider data bandwith due to new data processors, AESA-based trancievers and data processing/compressing algorythms.
Also TKS-3 can work with newest global war control and digital battlefield systems which increases its network centric capabilities.

These Units or factories does not look shady at all. Quite upto the International standards.
West has propagated negatively about Russian manufacturing just too much.
There still are old and shady facilities, but they are not key relevant for now or undergo complete rapid reconstruction and technological updates.

Part of the magic is that Russia had won access to the best German machine-tools under Putin I and Medvedev wise lead ;)
though there is now an embargo for the military sector. The effects of the embargo will be felt in some years, unless things come back to normal.

Yes, Russians will not need German machinery thanks to import substitution programs :)

@Kunal Biswas How many SP are planned to be handed over to IAF in the current year?

HAL is not looking good in terms of delivery schedule . Do we have any information on the delivery schedule?

BhI pulkit

You don't seem to have much info

About how many planed how many handed over when the rest will be handed over

You don't seem to have any info on one hand

But on the other hand you seem to have many expert info to make a comment that HAL does not look good delivery wise

Can you share on what basis you made this comment ?
