Then wrong sentence written.No.
Developed by GE. GE F404
The supply of engine is most important, as we could not develop a capable engine.For a real fighter

Modi’s recent flight on the twin-seat variant of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft highlights the determined political push for the development and induction of indigenous fighters. The Tejas, in its variants, is set to become the mainstay of the air force, replacing aging jets like MiG-21. While initial years of Tejas’s development saw technical snags and non-enthusiast reception in certain quarters, those bad memories have been firmly put behind now. The turning point in quality upgrade came thanks to the emergence of China as India’s principal strategic adversary. The next push was the Ukraine war, which jeopardised foreign defence supply chains.
As one of the largest defence importers in the world, India is faced with the triple challenge of ensuring advanced combat capabilities, supply chains that can’t be disrupted by external geopolitical events, and meeting China’s growing assertiveness. This is where the Tejas comes in. The air force is already down to 31 squadrons when at least 42 are required to meet the combined China-Pakistan challenge. The deficit can only be made up through faster production of Tejas, which currently stands at a tardy eight fighters a year. In fact, of the first order for 40 Tejas Mark-1 jets, which was to be initially completed by December 2016, just 32 single-seat fighters and two of the eight twin-seat trainers have been delivered so far.
Plus, another 83 Tejas Mark-1A jets are in the pipeline, slated for delivery by 2028. Add to this another 97 Tejas Mark-1A fighters waiting for the acquisition go-ahead and the development of the advanced Tejas Mark-2 with greater range and weapons payload. Crucially the Tejas Mark-2 will have the American GE-414 engine to be manufactured in India with 80% transfer of technology.
Therefore, the issue with Tejas is no longer about advance orders. Rather, HAL has to significantly improve its production rate to meet its targets and ensure that the air force’s combat capabilities are not compromised. The other aspect that Indian defence manufacturing needs to look at is safety and servicing. Earlier this year, Malaysia decided to select the South Korean FA-50 over the Tejas for its air force because of HAL’s lacklustre safety record, especially in the context of the horrible accidents involving its Advanced Light Helicopter exported to Ecuador. Hopefully, with Tejas becoming the mainstay of the air force, quality and spare parts will meet the requisite standards, even inspiring confidence among foreign buyers.
97. 50 was the number that was earlier rumored to be the follow on number. But the IAF Chief has confirmed the number as 97 more Tejas Mk1A.Adter 40 & 83 what's the newest order number?.. 50 or 97?
