 Welcome to HAL's site on the World Wide Web.

Aviation is one of the most significant influences of our time and it empowers a nation with technological strength. It is a major tool for economic development and has a significant role in national security and international relations. India has been fortunate to have launched its Aeronautics industry in 1940, with the establishment of HAL.

HAL, over the last six decades, has grown progressively into an integrated Aerospace Organisation and has spread its wings to cover various activities in the areas of design, development, manufacture and maintenance of advanced fighters, piston and jet engine Trainers, commercial aircraft, helicopters and the associated aero-engines, aircraft systems, equipment and avionics.

Present achievements in the area of indigenous design and development are the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH-Dhruv) and Intermediate Jet Trainer (IJT). These developments have helped HAL in establishing a competitive edge among the global aerospace companies. HAL being major Design partner for aircraft and system / equipment as well as for system integration of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), has made a significant contribution to its successful development.

HAL’s current major programmes include production of military and  civil versions of the ALH, Jaguar - the deep penetration strike aircraft, Dornier Do-228 - Multi-mission Aircraft, LANCER- the Light Attack Helicopter as well as upgrades of MiG-21 BiS, MiG-27M and Jaguar. License manufacture of SU-30 MKI has been launched and the first batch of indigenously produced SU-30 MKI aircraft has been handed over to the Indian Air Force. Facilities for license production of Advanced Jet Trainer – HAWK are being established.

The new initiatives in R & D include Weapon System Integration (WSI) on ALH, development of Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), Combat Air Trainer (CAT), Naval & Trainer versions of LCA.

HAL has also taken the initiatives for participation in new generation civil passenger / transport aircraft with international partnership aiming to expand its activities in the civil aviation Sector.

Design capabilities, state-of-the-art facilities and excellent skill level make HAL a valuable partner for challenging programmes in Aerospace. HAL’s participation in the outsourcing programmes of global aerospace Companies like Airbus, Boeing, BAe Systems, Snecma, Rolls Royce etc. has established its credibility in the export front.

Present initiatives like Lean Management, setting up of ‘Centres of Excellence’- world-class facilities, company-wide implementation of ERP and Strategic Alliance with reputed Global Aerospace Companies will help HAL to march ahead on its mission.
