No, only DAC approval came. This will be followed by CCS approval and then final order placement. Still several months away, unless fast tracked.

Better late the never .. eh ?

Sarcasm aside , the new engine was delivered 2 months ago and the news from ADA was that the airframes are ready waiting for engine integration ...now this first one is outfitted with an old engine

The new engine is delivered to HAL Bengaluru facility and will be fitted with the production aircraft in line which hasn’t received any engine. All those 4-5 Tejas built will be in Category B engines only for time being.

Overhaul meaning what? they will add all Mk1A improved equipment to the existing mk1 plane?

Probably most of MK1A features unless structural changes are required.

But can IOC tejas work with those upgrades?
