The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) has recently cleared Rs.8,000 Crore (Rs.80 Billion) for further development of the LCA's Air and Naval Versions, and a New Engine. Presently it is kitted with GE-404 engines.
Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has designed and developed the LCA with HAL as its Partner. Tejas is the smallest, lightest, multi-role supersonic fourth generation aircraft in the world.
It is expected to be inducted into IAF by 2014.
