In a move highlighting proactive strategy, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has begun procuring materials for the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand, even before finalizing a contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for 156 units.

HAL Chairman C B Ananthakrishnan recently confirmed that the company has initiated material procurement for the LCH. This proactive approach comes after the MoD requested an RFP (Request for Proposal) for the 156 Prachand helicopters, intended for the Indian Army (90 units) and Indian Air Force (66 units).

By starting material procurement early, HAL aims to significantly reduce production lead time. This strategy follows the successful delivery of the initial 15 Limited Series Production (LSP) LCHs ahead of schedule. Early delivery ensured that user trials by the Army and IAF could proceed without delays.

The Indian Armed Forces are set to receive a significant boost in their helicopter capabilities with the induction of the LCH Prachand. HAL’s proactive measures position the company to deliver these advanced helicopters efficiently, further strengthening India’s aerial defence capabilities.
