Explanation
On February 6, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Helicopter Factory in Tumakuru (Tumkuru), Karnataka. This facility is India's largest helicopter manufacturing plant and is a significant step toward achieving self-reliance (Aatmanirbharta) in the defence sector.
- The plant is spread over 615 acres and will initially produce the Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), an indigenously designed 3-ton class multipurpose utility helicopter.
- In the future, the factory will be expanded to manufacture other helicopters like the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) and Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH).
- It is expected to produce more than 1,000 helicopters in the 3 to 15-ton range over a period of 20 years, with a total business potential of over ₹4 lakh crore.
