The lightweight, single-engine jet is expected to bolster India&#8217;s depleted fighter fleet as China expands its military presence in South Asia, including by strengthening defense ties with India&#8217;s rival Pakistan. <\/p>\n<p>In September, India&#8217;s Defense Ministry signed a contract with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, or HAL, to procure 97 Tejas jets for the air force. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. <\/p>\n<p>The Indian government also signed a deal with HAL in 2021 for 83 Tejas aircraft. Deliveries, expected last year, have been delayed largely because of shortages of engines that must be imported from the United States. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, India&#8217;s Press Information Bureau rejected some social media claims alleging that a Tejas aircraft had experienced an oil leak while on display at the air show. In a statement on X, it called the posts &#8220;false&#8221; and said they were attempts to undermine the &#8220;fighter&#8217;s proven technical reliability with baseless propaganda.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It was unclear whether the aircraft in question was the one that crashed on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>A Tejas fighter jet crashed in the western Indian state of Rajasthan last year, but the pilot ejected safely in that incident.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
