Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that efforts are on to make Light Combat Aircraft Tejas 100 per cent indigenous and it will be done soon.
While addressing the curtain raiser of ‘Aero India’ 2023, which will begin from Monday, the Defence Minister said, “We are putting in all efforts to see that Tejas becomes 100 per cent indigenised. That is our ultimate aim.”
Singh added that investments in Tejas will increase in the coming years.
“The government has positioned it at the centre of the Aero India show while also planning to promote its exports,” he said.
The Minister highlighted that defence exports from India have increased ever since the government adopted the ‘Atmanirbhar Scheme’, or self-reliance programme, for the defence sector.
