HAL invites Indian partner for licence manufacturing of ALH Civil
Providing a major boost to private participation in aircraft making, Public Sector Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Friday invited Indian Partner for licence manufacturing of the civilian version of its Advance Light Helicopter (ALH) under Transfer of Technology model.
This will be the first time in Indian history and provide a major boost to defence manufacturing and Government’s Make-in-India initiative.
HAL has offered the indigenous ‘Advanced Light Helicopter-Dhruv’ (Civil version) for manufacturing to potential Indian private companies through TOT.
Accordingly, the Company has invited Expression of Interest (EOI) for identification of Indian Partner, a HAL release said here.
”Considering the increasing need of helicopters in civil operations of the country, this will be a mega deal from HAL which is the OEM and Licensor,” T Suvarna Raju, CMD of HAL said.
