Here's #Tejas SP schedule at HAL for all those pinged me today, post my piece. 16-17: 5; 17-18: 8, 18-19: 12, 19-20: 16.
HAL goes by Fiscal Year (April to March). Lets see how many LCA Tejas they have delivered in the past Fiscal Years compared to promised since that schedule was published:
FY 2013-2014: 0 Delivered, Total Delivered: 0 (IOC-2 - SoP Frozen 20-Dec-2013)
FY 2014-2015: 1 Delivered, Total Delivered: 1
FY 2015-2016: 1 Delivered, Total Delivered: 2
FY 2016-2017: 1 Delivered, 5 Promised, 4 Short, Total Delivered: 3, Total Promised: 7, Total Short: 4
FY 2017-2018: 6 Delivered, 8 Promised, 2 Short, Total Delivered: 9, Total Promised: 15, Total Short: 6
FY 2018-2019: 1 Delivered, 12 Promised, 11 Pending, Total Delivered: 10, Total Promised: 27, Total Pending: 17
Production has been getting better, but If they significantly miss their targets this FY, then it will be harder for anyone to defend them.
