Summary
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited delivered two Light Combat Aircraft Tejas twin‑seater trainers, three HTT‑40 basic trainers to the Indian Air Force, and four Dhruv Next Generation helicopters to Pawan Hans Limited.
The minister highlighted that building design, avionics, propulsion, composite materials, flight‑control systems, manufacturing and certification within the country strengthens both military and civil aviation.
He noted that future air operations will rely heavily on information‑intensive, technology‑driven systems, and that indigenous platforms like the LCA trainer and Dhruv‑NG helicopter are key milestones toward that goal.
