Good move.
The state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited [HAL] has issued a notice seeking 'Request For Information [RFI]' from the private sector to take up assembly, sales & servicing of the Mark III version of its Advanced Light Helicopter [ALH], 'Dhruv', under a Transfer of Technology [ToT] arrangement.
A stable program, that has had a long production run with HAL, bagging export orders - suitable product for India Inc. to cut its teeth in the production/integration of entire platform, with HAL watching over its back, offering guidance, in lieu of royalty & licensing fee. This would also free up its manpower to be diverted to the more pressing projects, IMHO, like the LCA Tejas, AMCA, IJT, HTT-40 & LCH. It appears to have decided in retaining production of the Mark IV variant, the weaponised version, the ALH-WSI 'Rudra'.
Godspeed
