Pics of the MKI with the Litening pod are available in numbers, this is still my favourite MKI pic:
The Mirage and AFAIK Jags used the Atlis pod during Kargil, not sure if they will get new once during the upgrades, or if they will use the Litening as well. Also no idea what the upgraded Mig 27, or Mig 29 will use, because they will have PGM capability as well, but could be guided by MKI as well. Here are some pics of the Mirage 2000 with pods, although I'm not sure which pod the last one is:

LITENING targeting pod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
full article:The Indian defense ministry’s Center for Airborne Systems (CABS) has engaged EADS defense unit Cassidian to help with the system integration and flight testing of India’s Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) platform.
The AEW&C is scheduled to be integrated on a modified Embraer EMB-145 aircraft later this year. The Indian air force is set to commission three AEW&C platforms by 2013, with the first flight expected this May.
Eh...they are canards......!
He also revealed that SWAC was in the process of strengthening its surveillance capabilities by inducting a few state-of-the-art, medium power radars (MPR). The MPR is an AESA system developed for the IAF, which will be able to detect small targets at ranges in excess of 300 km.
"The SWAC will be the first air command to have this modern radar technology," air marshal Gogoi said.
"We have already received it and are in the process of making it functional in Gujarat," he said on the last day of his visit here.

India Likely To Award Trainer Contract In Third Quarter | AVIATION WEEKIndia is poised to shortlist a manufacturer to provide much-needed basic trainer aircraft.
The contenders — Grob’s G-120 TP, Embraer’s EMB-312 Super Tucano, Korea Aerospace Industries’ KT-1, Finmeccanica’s M-311 and Pilatus’ PC-7 — emerged following a request for proposals issued in early 2010. The deal is estimated to cost $1 billion.
“The flight trials [of the competitors] have been completed and we are assessing the evaluation made by the Indian air force,” an Indian defense ministry official says. “We expect to award a contract in the third quarter of 2011 and the [deliveries] are expected to commence some time [in] 2012.”
Its not mention anywhere that the MPR which IAF is inducting is developed by DRDO....how do you know ?? The term drdo is mentioned only once that too when the writer was talking about Akash SAM....Kudos to DRDO, another AESA radar developed and deployed.
