Do you have any info on what HAL’s next plan is? with HAL ending the production run of Su-30MKI are they going to redirect the resources to Tejas... or is there other projects on the horizon?

As per the current information will be redirect towards Tejas Mk 2 and then a new assembly would he constructed by a Public Private Coperation near the Existing assembly line for the AMCA.
I see, but wouldn’t the Su-30 run end before the Tejas MK2 would be ready for production?
Who will produce LCA MK1A?
I would guess the current LCA MK1 production line, after the original LCA MK1s order is completed... the similarity in airframe should make the transition simple...

Assuming all the projects are realized India will operate like 15 different variants/sub variants in the next decade. That will include at least five different engine types and who knows how much different types of munitions. That seems excessive.

Do you mean variants of Tejas or of different fighters overall?
I wasn't aware it was the former. If the latter I guess that's a result of trying to boost the Indian airforce as quickly as possible from multiple countries, without sacrificing the domestic industry.
In any event, no doubt there will be more commonality into the 2030s as large numbers of single types of aircraft are procured.
