The first rear fuselage for Light Combat Aircraft Mk1A, produced by Indian Private Industry, Alpha Tocol Engineering Services Private Ltd, was handed over on Sunday to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh at Aircraft Division in Bengaluru.
In his address, the Defence Minister termed the handing over as a milestone in the historic journey of India's defence manufacturing.
The ceremony is a testimony to India's progress towards Aatmanirbharta (self-reliance) in defence and the government's commitment towards enhanced public-private partnership, he said.
According to the Defence Ministry, Singh commended HAL and the private sector for constantly strengthening the Armed Forces with the latest platforms & technologies. He stated that HAL, through its integrated model and strategies, is not only bolstering the strength of soldiers but is also opening new dimensions of manufacturing and R&D by collaborating with the private sector.
