Yes Tejas MK1 has 40 orders(24 SPs are produced till now) Airforce has 21 in service)
TEJAS MK1A has got 83 orders with production to start from 2023 onwards.
I am talking about slow production rate of Tejas MK1 here if Hal could have produced 16 a year from 2017 onwards MK1 order definately be increased from original 40 to much more providing earlier replacements for Mig21s.
Does HAL facility for Tejas use robotic already ?, Here in Indonesia Aerospace we have already got robotic hands for KF 21/IFX program
HAL IMO just dont want to invest yet by seeing the previous order of Tejas, but I believe with that 100 firm orders they will likely invest more on their production facility
