Personal opinion here -
By 2025, we would probably see the LCA Tejas cancelled and attention of State resources diverted to MWF, TEDBF and AMCA. (All of which would be powered using GE414 class engines to reduce costs and maintenance issues). India would have its own Rafale/Super Hornet class fighter jet.
Edit: Removed my mention of Tejas mk 2.

The latest Tender documents issued by India’s Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has asked for Expression of Interest to Vendors who can Design, Test, and Supply 2 Medium Weight Fighter (MWF) full mission simulators, which thereby revealed the final cockpit configuration for the upcoming Medium Weight Fighter (MWF) also still called Internally as Tejas Mk2.
MWF-MK2 will be equipped with a high-definition touchscreen Measuring 50x20cm (20x8in) Wide Area Display (WAD) that will allow a redundant and intelligent presentation of information across its entire length, with the capacity to receive inputs from multitask keys, the touchscreen or external interfaces.
Using data fusion, it provides the pilot with the information needed and is the main source of flight and mission information in the cockpit. According to 2014 based E-Tender For, the Original plan was to used 2 Multi-Function Displays of size 6x8in and one of 5x5in for the Tejas Mk-2 program but now it seems it has been abandoned. Present LCA-Tejas MK-1 has 3 MFDs in 5x5in along with 2 Smart Standby Display Units (SSDU).

@berserk,

Do you have any information on what is happening with the "Super Sukhoi" upgrade which the Russians had promised? I am referring to the AESA and EW upgrade unto the SU-30MKI.

I was curious by the sight of Wide Aspect Displays used in the HAL sport. They seem to be very competent solutions. Just found out that Elbit and HAL are cooperating on the Avionics by a JV. That is very good. It has to start somewhere and such JV will help earn experience and technology.

Elbit would be using Intel Integrated Graphics and processors to support its Avionics.
Not bad at all.
