The Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv MKIII, despite not making an appearance in the Republic Day Parade this year, is poised for a significant showcase at Aero India 2025. The helicopter, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), will feature both in flying displays and static exhibitions at the event scheduled for February 10-14 in Bengaluru.

The decision to exclude the ALH-Dhruv MKIII from the Republic Day parade stems from recent safety concerns following a series of accidents involving the helicopter. This has led to a cautious approach by the Indian military, ensuring that only thoroughly vetted platforms participate in high-profile public events.

At Aero India, the ALH-Dhruv MKIII will have the opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities in a controlled environment. The flying display will allow HAL to showcase the helicopter’s agility, endurance, and operational versatility, potentially reassuring both domestic and international audiences of its reliability.

Alongside its aerial performance, the helicopter will be available for close inspection in the static display area. This setup will enable potential buyers, military personnel, and aviation enthusiasts to appreciate the Dhruv MKIII’s design, armament options, and technological advancements up close.

After the safety issues, HAL’s decision to display the MKIII at Aero India is strategic, aiming to restore confidence in the helicopter among the Indian military and potential international clients. he static and flying displays are crucial for marketing the ALH-Dhruv to foreign nations, especially in regions looking for cost-effective, multi-role helicopters for both military and civil applications.
