    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    @pmaitra I know of the date difference, I think it's a mistake on their part, because we have absolutely no information on SP2, 3, 4, 5 at all. HAL, IAF, and ADA, has said nothing about all this. What they were mentioning is most probably the SP1 that was just handed over to IAF at that time...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    @pmaitra TATA won, and they will be building a massive production line for it, they will produce 40 C295. And about LCA, ADA is giving the task of making it's different modules. They are in advanced talks with someone of it's fuselage. HAL has no rival, the Indian government knows this and...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    IF the government wanted, but they would never have back then. They restricted the private sector in every other sector, let alone defence and aerospace, why would they even enter such restricted sector in a big way? The gov wanted to depend on their own companies to pull the weight on...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    That's because they have been restricted from the sector for all these years. All of these guys have only upped their presence since really around 07-09. What they have done since then is fantastic, especially TASL. While, HAL got government funding, constant orders from the get-go, obviously...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    I think he means in tandem. The big products will of course come from the big firms.

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    Mahindra Aerospace I think they're more concentrated on assembling their small plane design from the Australian company they bought out.

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    Yes, and I am of the opinion that there's no shortage of talent within India itself.

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    Or the public sector funds private sector programs. Or the government partially funds the private program. Both of this is happening. TATA Kestral, being developed by TATA is being funded by DRDO. FICV program, the gov funds 80% of the program.

    Two decades? Have you seen what TATA has done since 09? What they have bagged from leading aerospace companies? Sikorsky Cabins Tata Lockheed Martin Modules TATA Aerospace RUAG Dornier Assembly Bagged assembly of Cobham air to air probe...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    Mean while the over bloated HAL gets it's contract shut by Boeing because of it's shit production, they're expanding with companies like TATA, Dynamatic technologies, Mahindra, etc, etc. dynamatic technologies producing Chinook modules.

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    They finally had a fire under their ass after India opened up the automotive sector, they couldn't keep up with their competitors and went the way of any inefficient creature in their environment - extinct. @Mad Indian Indicus-Tamiliconus, you will like this recent article of HAL...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    IAF and the IN have paid half of the total amount for the Tejas production facility actually. There is no excuses, they've missed several deadlines they made up for SP2 for example. It's already October, and they have only brought out a grand total of 1 Tejas since the beginning of the year.

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    Literally, if they dont deliver on Tejas production, ADA will probably go straight for private firms as the lead integrator. Already ADA is thinking seriously about outsourcing major chucks of Tejas Mark 2 and AMCA to the private firm. And if HAL screws up on Tejas's production, they may even...

    Is HAL inefficient? Should Govt. split it?

    HAL was supposed to bring out how many Tejas SPs for this year?? 4? They have given only 1 so far. They've just missed ANOTHER deadline for SP2.
