There is no proposal at present to bring HAL under Indian Air Force (IAF), said the Union Minister of State for Defence, Rao Inderjit Singh.
In a written reply to Naresh Gujral in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, Singh said IAF procures majority of its aircraft and helicopters from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
HAL is supporting IAF through design and development, manufacture, repair and overhaul, spares support, upgrade and life extension.
“However, there are issues regarding delays in project execution, serviceability etc. due to various reasons. These are being addressed by having structured meetings involving all stakeholders, including representatives from IAF and HAL,” Singh said.
