IAF to retire swing-wing MiG-23 interceptor Tuesday - India

I know its not a credible link, but I saw this news on TV too about 15 minutes back. And the reason for retirement is said to be lack of spares.

Well they should get more planes and better ones this time to replace the mig-23.

They made a move for the better. All that money for maintenance doesn't have to go into corrupt politicians' accounts and for maintaining the Mig-23s. It can now at least go into producing the HAL Tejas.
