Malaysia has chosen India's Tejas Mk 1A aircraft as its top choice and a team with high-ranking officials and experts will visit India this month to take forward the procurement process.

As part of the package, Hindustan Aeronautics has offered to set up an MRO facility in Malaysia for Russian Origins Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets as Malaysia is facing difficulties in procuring spares for the aircraft from Russia due to Western sanctions.

HAL Chief has said that he is very confident about closing the mega deal with Malaysia that will give a very good signal to other prospective buyers of the aircraft and will also boost the overall export potential of the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas.
