HAL Nashik unit cranks up to 24 Tejas jets a year

Plenty of orders, that is.

After taking more than two decades to build and induct the first 40 Tejas Mark 1 fighters, HAL must now produce and induct the next 180 Tejas Mark 1As the new, more capable variant of the Tejas Mark 1 in less than a decade.

This will require HAL to accelerate its production rates, dramatically scaling up the rate at which it will churn out the new Tejas Mark 1A fighter.

After the Tejas Mark 1's inaugural flight in January 2001, it took the Indian Air Force (IAF) another 14 years to commission the first Tejas squadron Flying Daggers No. 45 Squadron. This year, it will be another 10 years before the -second Tejas squadron Flying Bullets No. 18 Squadron is expected to be operationalised.

A fighter squadron normally fields 20-21 single-seat aircraft.

Don't see any reason to scale back our domestic targets

India's current climate policies are projected to reduce CO2 emissions by almost 4 billion tonnes between 2020 and 2030. However, developed countries have adopted a much slower approach to emissions reduction, which may see a further downtrend with the US likely to cut down its target. ARUNABHA GHOSH, CEO of the Council for Energy Environment and Water, a leading global think tank based out of New Delhi, speaks to S Dinakar in a video interview on climate-related issues ahead of the annual UN climate summit COP29, which starts in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, on November 11.
