Parts could be procured from another location in case
1) The technology to create those parts do not exist with the company. or
2) It is cheaper to import the parts instead of manufacturing them locally.
I think the question should not be about the product being indigenous. It should be about the fate of the final product being dependent on the whims some suppliers. The main question should be about the ability of HAL to source the parts from other locations or replace them with alternatives or fabricate them in house in case any of the suppliers are not able to or are unwilling to keep supplying them with parts.
Even if the machine is a 100% indigenous, the key component to fly them is the fuel. This in India is mostly imported.
