GE production limit is to prevent exports and even keep IAF hand to mouth. Any high tempo operations will immediately bring forth serviceability issues. HAL should prioritise bringing production to desh suggesting to GE that it can use its capacity for other things.

Simple answer: boosters You can add-on different size boosters for desired range.
