Why did you feel a need to crop it? To leave out HAL and PSUs that contribute the lion's share?

210 Indian LRUs and 138 overseas. Not only that, do you really think aircraft design and production is just bunching up LRUs? It's not even half the story.

Well, what would people from your side know...

Dude. Count the LRUs, not number of suppliers. HAL singlehandedly makes 100, in their five divisions.

You should be arguing that the number of LRUs don't matter and it's the nature of the LRU that matters. And after that, somebody will post the famous Gripen blueprint to teach you there's much to fighter jets than simple counting.

Same question can be ask for JF-17 too . how many parts are manufacture in Pakistan Versus imported from China and assemble in Pakistan .
There's no comparison really. Pakistan will take many more decades to be capable enough to undertake an indigenous design.

But we can compare Su30 MKI and JF17 production. Technologically, it's not a pretty picture for Pak there either. But business venture wise and even strategically to an extent, they've done a commendable job.

LCA comprises more imported components than MKI. And it was a Dassault design for HAL. You will find more on this in this very thread. Do some searching.

Now, India ready to export fighter aircraft, Asian countries want to buy Tejas: Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said many countries in the South East Asian region have expressed their willingness to purchase Tejas aircraft, India’s indigenously-built light combat aircraft. Rajnath Singh, who became the first defence minister to fly Tejas today, said he chose to fly Tejas because it is made indigenously.

Speaking about his experience of flying the Tejas aircraft, Rajanath Singh, “The fight was very smooth and comfortable. I was thrilled.” Rajnath Singh also congratulated the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the organisation the built Tejas along with DRDO and some other agencies.

“We have reached a level where we can now export fighter planes across the world,” Rajnath Singh said after the flight. In a tweet, Rajnath Singh said, “Flying on Tejas, an indigenous light combat aircraft from Bengaluru’s HAL Airport was an amazing and exhilarating experience. Tejas is a multi-role fighter with several critical capabilities.

It is meant to strengthen India’s air defence capabilities.” Wearing a G suit, Rajnath Singh buckled himself in the seat behind the pilot in the aircraft. He was accompanied by Air-Vice Marshal N Tiwari, who is also the Project Director, National Flight Test Centre, ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) in Bengaluru.

The IAF has already inducted a batch of Tejas aircraft. The naval version of the LCA is in development stage.Last Friday in Goa, Tejas had successfully carried out an “arrested landing”, a key performance, demonstrating its ability to land on board an aircraft carrier, making it a major milestone in development of the naval variant of the fighter jet.

Initially, the IAF had placed an order with the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for 40 Tejas aircraft. Last year, the IAF issued the request for proposal (RFP) to HAL for the procurement of another batch of 83 Tejas at a cost of over Rs 50,000 crore.

The Tejas is an indigenous light weight, multi role supersonic aircraft developed in both fighter and trainer versions. Advanced materials like composites are used in the manufacture of the Tejas to reduce weight and increase the component life.
The Tejas is designed to carry a veritable plethora of air-to-air, air-to- surface, precision guided and standoff weaponry.
