HAL to Deliver Four Dhruv NG Helicopters to Pawan Hans, Complete LCA Trainer Delivery
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is preparing to deliver four Dhruv NG helicopters to Pawan Hans, which ordered 10 such multi-role helicopters earlier this year. The remaining six helicopters are expected within the current financial year. Additionally, HAL will deliver the last two LCA Mk-1 trainer aircraft from a 2010 contract to the Indian Air Force. HAL aims to increase its non-military business turnover from 5% to 25% over the next decade, anticipating demand for around 400 Dhruv NG helicopters in India.
