An IAF statement said that the MiG-29 aircraft on a training mission from an air force base near Jalandhar had met with an accident at 10.45 am.
The aircraft developed a technical snag but the pilot ejected safely as he was unable to control the aircraft.
"A court of inquiry has been ordered to investigate the cause of the accident," the statement said.
