Inside one of the halls at Aero India, this Tejas Mk.1 was displayed. Of note is the Russian R-73 (NATO reporting name AA-11 Archer) short-range air-to-air missile underneath the wing. The Tejas can be equipped with customer specific / required wiring, so Indian, Russian and Western (weapon) systems can be carried.

In 2021, the Indian government gave a US$ 6 billion contract to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited for 83 indigenous developed and manufactured Tejas Light Combat Aircraft - powered by a General Electric F414 engine (like the F/A-18 Hornet). HAL is in talks with at least Malaysia, Argentina, Egypt and Botswana for Tejas sales. Malaysia showed specific interest in sixteen aircraft but the Korean competitor, the T-50/FA-50 is also in the race to win that contract.

Keeping their eyes on HAL's Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) ZJ-4630 clearing the active, the pilot and passenger in the twin-seat Tejas taxi to the head of the runway for a customer demo flight in the afternoon at Aero India 2021. The markings are fairly similar to the Tejas Mk.1. The role of the Tejas trainer includes Lead-in Fighter Training (LIFT) and ground-attack.

Demonstrating its agility, this Final Operational Clearance (FOC) standard Tejas of No. 18 Sqn. "Flying Bullets" rolls hard to the left while still over the active in the run-up to the 89th Air Force Day at Hindon AFS. One can see the blister under the starboard intake containing the 23mm twin-barrelled GSh-23 gun and five hardpoints attached out of a possible eight across its compound delta wing. The FOC standard comes with an aerial refuelling probe.
