If Rolls-Royce is barred, Jaguar, Hawk, C130J will be affected

[highlight]Former top officials of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in the City have said that barring Rolls-Royce (RR) from transacting business with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) would hit IAF's strikefighter Jaguar, the strategic transport aircraft C130J and the Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT).[/highlight]

It would bring their operations to a halt and severely impact the operational preparedness of the IAF. And financially, it would hit HAL and Defence Ministry in millions of dollars ($800 mn and above), and some say in an extreme case, the setback could be around $ five billion. RR is now barred from transacting with HAL after RR admitted that it had hired a third party to secure engine contracts from Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) via HAL. The Defence ministry has now put on hold transactions with RR and would restore original ties only after a probe. According to one estimate, the Jaguar requires an ideal supply of 180 engines for 90 aircraft considering it as a twin engine aircraft, Hawk would require 140 engines, and the C130J around six. Jaguar would mean costs of about $360 mn, the Hawk around $280 mn, and the C130J close to $800 mn. The figures here are only estimates by Defence insiders. Formal figures could vary from the estimates. The assessment, insiders say, is dependent on actual supply situation now.

Defence Ministry to Go for More Pilatus Trainer Planes

In a two-day bid to boost training of rookie pilots and promote indigenous aircraft production capability, the Defence Ministry has recently issued a request for information from Indian defence firms for buying and making the Swiss Pilatus PC-7 Mk2 basic trainer planes within the country.

The request for information or RFI in defence parlance was issued last Friday to procure 106 of the Swiss aircraft under the Defence Procurement Procedure-2013 under the 'Buy and Make (Indian)' category.

This would be apart from the Defence Ministry allowing the public sector Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to design and develop an indigenous basic trainer aircraft, codenamed HTT-40, through its own sources..........................................................................
