New Delhi, December 7

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is in talks with at least three countries for the export of the Tejas fighter jet.

CB Ananthakrishnan, HAL Chairman, told reporters in New Delhi that discussions were on with Nigeria, Philippines and Argentina to export the indigenous jet. Egypt has also shown interest, said the HAL chief on the sidelines of the Avionics Expo, 2023, organised by the company here.

HAL is also trying to meet Argentina’s legal requirements that bar British-made components on military platforms. Sources said this includes replacing British-made pilot ejection seat with the Russian-origin K-36 seats.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
