HAL says five Tejas Mk-1A aircraft cleared for IAF delivery amid engine delays

HAL says five Tejas Mk-1A aircraft cleared for IAF delivery amid engine delays

State-run aerospace behemoth Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) on Thursday said five Tejas light combat aircraft are fully ready for delivery to the Indian Air Force. In February 2021, the defence ministry sealed a Rs 48,000 crore deal with HAL for the procurement of 83 Tejas Mk-1A jets for the IAF. The delivery of the jets are facing delays primarily due to GE Aerospace missing several deadlines for supply of its aero engines to power the jets. “The HAL confirms that five aircraft are fully ready for delivery, incorporating major contracted capabilities in accordance with the agreed specifications,” a spokesperson of the aerospace major said. The spokesperson said the HAL is in active discussions with the Indian Air Force to deliver the aircraft at the earliest. “HAL assures that it will meet the guidance projected for the current financial year,” the spokesperson said. The IAF is looking at inducting the warplanes as the number of its fighter squadrons have gone down to 30 from officially sanctioned strength of 42. This story has been sourced from a …

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi Day 1 Box Office: Ravi Teja’s film sees a slow start, collects just Rs 3 cr in India

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi Day 1 Box Office: Ravi Teja’s film sees a slow start, collects just Rs 3 cr in India

Ravi Teja’s latest release, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, debuted on a low note. The Telugu movie could collect just Rs. 3 crore on its opening day at the Indian box office. One of the major reasons movie couldn’t generate good initial interest is the lack of awareness around its release and buzz. Interestingly, not many people knew that the Ravi Teja film was released on Sankranthi. Had the makers opted for a good marketing strategy, the opening day figure could have been a bit higher.  Furthermore, the romantic comedy drama, directed by Kishore Tirumala, met with poor word-of-mouth among the audience and the critics, which sealed its fate at the box office. There is a strong possibility that the movie will lose out a significant amount of screens to its rival Sankranthi 2026 releases.  Fans would have to wait a little longer for a perfect comeback of Ravi Teja. The movie is likely to be out of the cinemas in its opening week itself, becoming another disaster for the actor.  For the unversed, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi stars Ashika …
