So far the roll-out has been just rolling on the floor laughingHAL intends to start production of Tejas Mk2 after completing production of 180 Tejas Mk1A. So far zero Mk1A have been completed. HAL is aiming for the capacity to assemble 24 units of Mk1A each year. Starting Mk2 production in 2029 is therefore impossible unless the number of Mk1A to be produced is cut back severely. The article omits mentioning that.
Starting test flights with the first Tejas Mk2 prototype in March 2026 is possible but it needs to be noted that it was scheduled to roll out in 2022, then in 2023, then in 2024 and I believe is currently scheduled to roll out in 2025.
