Why is the Tejas aircraft called indigenous when its parts are imported?
I have a question about the Tejas aircraft. Can you tell me why it's called indigenous when many of its parts are imported?
Sure. The Tejas aircraft is called indigenous because it was designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited in India. While some of its parts are sourced from foreign suppliers, the majority of the aircraft's components are manufactured domestically in India.
