So we are going to make 20 FOC + 8 trainers until then.. 7-8 / per year? 🤬

16 FOCs will be delivered in 1 year, by end 2020 or early 2021. Followed by 18 trainers (early to mid 2022). And Mk1As from 2023.

So the production line will keep churning out a squadron a year from here on.

@16 / year for Mk1A production will be for 5 years min.

Even shorter. 'Cause it's 73 Mk1As. The other 10 are trainers. Plus, the capacity is actually 19/year. So it's just 4 years.

There will be extra LCA production from Nashik once MKI production is done, which will take care of exports. The existing lines can be upgraded to 27/year, not counting the Nashik line. So it can be 19+Nashik or 27+Nashik per year. The Nashik line can be extended to whatever number's necessary.

That means MWF production will be after 2028..

No, there will be concurrency. So production will start much sooner. First delivery is expected in 2028.

In case, if luck would have it, 50-100 Mk1As are exported, then the Nashik line can make MWFs, while leaving the Bangalore lines for the Mk1A. The Bangalore line will also be expected to make LCA SPORT, and this version has pretty decent export prospects, apart from IAF's orders. Plenty of options.

Comprehension Fail as always.
For any infrastructure to be built such as Production line, allocations are made from the Capex of the said company. Over the order size the same cost is capitalized, in some instances the cost is capitalized across the product line in other cases specific to the product or service.
For example if backup generators are installed with Capex, it would be capitalized as a fixed overhead for the period of until the cost is recovered across all the products, if a CAPEX is utilized to insource a process for SU30MKI, and certain amount is added, it would go into an overhead for the cost to build for that specific product. That is how Cost works.

Now charging the customer, i.e MoD, in lieu of IAF/IA/IN/ISRO constitutes as a Sale price, which could be in some cases Cost + proft, Cost+fixed margin, just At Cost, or in some cases Cost-Concessions (in case of ISRO).



Hope that clarifies.

The right cost breakdown should be COGS (direct costs - labor, materials, and manufacturing overhead) + gross profit. The main component that is going to change is the "material" in the form of EW suite, AESA radar and other upgrades. They already have amortized CapEx over the 40 Qty order for Mk-1, plus depreciated annually, and still have the assembly line for future 83 Mk-1A a/c. There may be slight additional CapEx investment to cater to the new add-ons. But not a full fledged brand new assembly and testing line. I somehow have not seen the costing and sales pricing breakup by HAL

CTTC Bhubaneshwar also does manufacturing of a lot of satellite buses for ISRO. They have a whole production line dedicated to it.

SP16 - Shinnny (y)

Also i have lost count - at what Stage of production is the LCA in ie how many nos.???? SP16 was completed when?
