The trainers are part of Indian's air force's modernisation plans
The Indian air force says one of its Hawk trainer aircraft has crashed in the southern state of Karnataka.
An air force official said the advanced trainer jet slammed into a wall while taking off from an air base near the town of Bidar.
The two pilots escaped unhurt, the official said.
This is the first accident involving the British-built plane in India since its introduction into the air force in February this year.
Air force spokesman J Upasane told the BBC that an an investigation has been ordered into the incident.
India ordered 66 Hawk trainer jets following a series of crashes involving Russian-made jets.
They are part of the Indian air force's ambitious plans to modernise and upgrade its fleet.
