HAL will build a greenfield helicopter complex in Tumkuru district in Karnataka.
"The government of Karnataka has allotted 610 acres land in Tumkuru district for this purpose," said HAL Chairman T Suvarna Raju.
Further actions have been initiated for obtaining required approvals/ clearances, he added.
The HAL Chairman further said the new complex would take up development and production of Light Combat Helicopters for which Rs 400 crore was being invested.
Raju said the LCH's Technology Demonstrator TD-3 made its maiden flight in November. “This helicopter has demonstrated its capabilities during the air display and we are using our internal funds for building more prototypes in order to accelerate the certification process towards obtaining IOC,” he said.
The Ground Test Vehicle (GTV) run of the Light Utility Helicopter on December 6 was another important milestone.
