▪️ Strong design & development capabilities :
R&D has been the main focus area of the company for increasing indigenisation & value addition in its products/systems. HAL has showcased its research, design and development capabilities with the successful development of
indigenous military aircraft and helicopters such as the Ajeet, Marut, HPT-32, Kiran, Tejas LCA & advanced light helicopter, which were manufactured by the co post approvals. Co has directed its development efforts towards innovative technologies designed to expand its portfolio.
With 10 dedicated R&D centres, HAL is capable of developing a wide range of products. HAL has completed transfer of technology (ToT) absorption & production of aircraft & helicopters like Jaguar, Hawk, MiG-21, MiG-27, Su-30MKI, Cheetah & Chetak Helicopters.
HAL has achieved significant progress in various R&D/development projects viz. basic trainer aircraft (HTT-40), LUH, LCA- MK1A, Jaguar Darin III Upgrade, Hawk-i & Development of Engines. Prototype of LCA Tejas MK1A is ready & type certification of all the systems expected soon.
▪️ Exports opportunity :
HAL’s exports revenue is just 0.6% of total revenues but the co expects it to increase over the coming years as it has a wide range of products/aircraft across categories like transport, trainers, fighters in
aircraft/helicopters. It continues to look
for export opportunity for some of its products including LCA Tejas MK1A, Trainers or utility aircraft & helicopters along with MRO activities. Co is looking at countries like Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia & Vietnam. Apart from this, HAL is exploring MENA region for exports.
India's defence exports have grown by six times to ₹ 12,000 crore in FY22 since FY14.The Government of India has set an ambitious annual export target of around ₹ 36,500 crore by 2025.
▪️ Key Risks :
~ Decline of funding in Indian defence budget ,termination of contracts could adversely affect business.
~ Any change in GoI policy could have a material adverse effect on co’s financial condition.
~ Increase in competition from other international companies.
Conclusion :
Hindustan Aeronautics will benefit significantly from the GOI’s indigenisation push in the defence sector. Considering the country’s need for spending more on defence modernisation & faster procurement of defence equipments through indigenisation, increase in
capital outlay in defence is necessary, which is also visible through government actions.
