Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has successfully dispatched the second wing set for the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk1A in a record time of 128 days, marking a significant milestone in India’s pursuit of self-reliance in defense manufacturing. This achievement enhances the Indian Air Force’s fleet modernization efforts and underscores the growing capability of the private sector to meet military production standards. L&T’s efficient processes allow for the potential delivery of three wing sets annually, crucial for Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s assembly operations. The partnership between L&T and HAL highlights the importance of collaboration in advancing indigenous aerospace manufacturing, reinforcing India’s commitment to self-sufficiency in defense technology.
