NEW DELHI (Reuters):India has offered to sell 18 light-combat aircraft (LCA) 'Tejas' to Malaysia, the defence ministry said on Friday (Aug 5), adding that Argentina, Australia, Egypt, the United States, Indonesia, and the Philippines were also interested in the single-engine jet.
The Indian government last year gave a US$6 billion contract to state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd for 83 of the locally produced Tejas jets (pic) for delivery starting around 2023 - four decades after it was first approved in 1983.
