Delivering first Aircraft well within 10 months from achieving IOC-2 in month of Dec'13 is itself is very credible. With Production Capacity of 8 per year, HAL production line is all set to deliver new Tejas every 1.5 months. First delivered in Sept'14, first batch of 20 can be delivered by March'17 at this rate.
With receiving Quarts Radome & IFR from Cobham in Nov'14 and pending Gun trials which can be very well completed well within 3-6 months atmost i.e. Mar'15 to Jun'15.
Production can be speeded up to full capacity of 16 aircraft per year, after June'15 which can very well deliver first batch of IOC-2 standard 20 aircraft before end of March-16, and 2nd batch of 20 FOC standard can be delivered before March'18.
It is upto IAF to decide how many aircraft of Tajes MK-I standard they want if, they ready to deploy up to 80, they can get all them well upto 2020.
By this time Tejas MK-II will be ready for Deployment, it's all upto IAF to decide what they want. By supporting Tejas they can very easily get 80+ new aircraft well within 5 years. Afterall choices is of IAF.
If they want to go with Rafale, if deal is signed in 2015 then first Rafale will not arrive before 2018. By then they can get whole batch of Tejas MK-I of 40 aircraft. Thereafter they will receive 8 aircraft per year which will take 16 Years (year 2034) to get whole fleet of 126 air craft. Or else they can get 160 Tejas (80 MK-I+80 MK-II) well within 10 years (upto 2025) with set manufacturing capacity of 16 aircraft per year. Which can be readily increased (upto 16+16) whenever IAF want, which means 80 MKI + 160 MK-II = 240 by 2025.

On the subject of what if schemes(since there is not much news going on about the Tejas. There was a particular Mig-21 display scheme which always intrigued me and I thought the Tejas would look smashing in it.
And now to what I really wanted to do, was to ruin your day(or make it if you have rather twisted ideas).. The fin flag placement is wholly unintentional.

hillarious mate, how did you come up with something like that. OMG
Tejas one looks too flashy compared to lch.
As requested
Kyaukpyu, Burma. September 14th, 2020, 1030 hrs local time:
Integrated Battle Group East , Operation "Tēj rakṣhak" तेज रक्षक.
As part of its intervention to prevent the genocide of Rohingya refugees fleeing the military Junta and preventing the flood of seaborne refugees pouring into India; the Indian government has deployed IBG east in its Sub-B force level deployment. This included Su-30MKI's from Tezpur AFS and a squadron of Tejas Mk.1s being forward deployed to Kalaikunda AFS. In addition, the 107th Airlift squadron with its Mi-8S was tasked to provide airlift support to elements of the Indian Army being deployed in the operation. The Vikramaditya CVBG had set sail but was delayed by a day due to logistical issues and would arrive 12 hours later.
The opening phase of the operation included attacks by Su-30MKI squadrons targeting key infrastructure along the Burmese coast to prevent the Burmese Army from effective movement against the fleeing refugees. Teams of SFF and Para Commandos that were inserted the day before by both Helicopter and Airdrop were were providing both reconnaissance and targeting for these strikes that were carried out the night before.
Results were sketchy at best as the Burmese used effective Makeshift and MT-69 Bridges along shallower areas of the swamp and marsh land to move their troops ever closer to both the refugees and the Indian forward teams. In light of this the IBG Command indicated its intent to carry out interdiction sorties against Burmese Armoured groups rolling along the smaller beaches/sanddune areas whilst simultaneously landing a combined force of Assam & 11th Gorkha via Helidrop into the outskirts of Kyaukpyu to secure the city and the fleeing Rohingya refugees within it.
As part of the air operations, The newly raised Tejas detachment at Kalaikunda was to carry out a battlefield interdiction sortie using newer operational tactics of mixed weapon carriage to provide full spectrum air support. The Su-30 squadron from Tezpur would carry out Air to Air Escort duties. While the Burmese Air Force only existed on paper it was rumoured to be mustering a small section of L-39Cs armed with second and third generation IR missiles to put up some feeble defence. There were also rumours of UN and Civilian personnel fleeing the area in small civilian aircraft so the rules of engagement were strictly defined to be Visual I.D: Engage only after confirming identity of target. T.oT was 1030hrs (10:30 AM) local time.
As part of the mixed loadout, the four-ship flight carried different air to ground mixes which included.
4 x Helina Missiles in Launch Tubes, 3 x Anti-Material/Anti-Tank cluster munitions, Rafael Litening III Targeting Pods and 1 x Matra BGL-400 LGB. A Asymmetric loadout allowed the carriage of greater weapons variety and load and the right Wet tank loaded with a Wing tank for extra fuel.
The Second Aircraft carried Matra 155 Rocket pods along with Cluster Munitions and a Centreline LGB.
The Second flight carried Stand off weapons of Israeli origin. With two Electro Optically guided Delilah Missiles linked to a Litening III pod along with Spice 1000 stand off bombs. This would allow attacking the Lone Burmese Air Defence Unit Battery accompanying the armoured column armed with truck mounted HN-5 and QW-1 Manpads whilst keeping the flight safe from their attack.
The approach was uneventful and the Tejas flight cleared the initial point and prosecuted towards the target .The second section had just engaged the Air Defence assets when two L-39Cs of the Burmese Air Force were found trying to slip in behind the lead formation by flying low. However, a Su-30 flying cover at a higher altitude spotted the aircraft and engaged one while alerting the Tejas formation leader who fired R-74s at both targets using the DASH helmet making quick work of the second aircraft.
With the air threat eliminated the Lead section focused on the Burmese Ground forces threatening the city, what was an interdiction mission soon turned into close air support as the Burmese forces spotted a withdrawing Para Commandos team and engaged them at range.
Attacks were made using Cluster munitions first to create consternation among the tanks with full EW coverage before switching to Helina Missiles to pick off targets.
As the Burmese Forces scattered, the LGBs were used to mop up any key targets identified by the Para Team, whist the second aircraft used its rockets to pick off stragglers and soft targets.
in the meantime, the 107th was given the all clear to begin its Air drop/assault to secure the outskirts of the city and make it a safe haven for the refugees.
The task at hand done, the MKI's continued to provide aerial cover for the heliborne operation whilst the Tejas flight returned to base.
