I was wondering if we can have discussion on Government's stand on HAL's near monopoly in aerospace manufacturing. Needless to mention about the negative effects and outcomes of any kind of monopoly and one that is enjoyed by HAL is making situation severe beyond critical. With its hands twice full and still loading, isn't government risking military preparedness of nation, in other words seriously compromising with the national security? How long will government stay mum on this and let situation deteriorate further? Most importantly, how long can we as a nation afford such situation to escalate and get worse? Isn't it high time for government to think about diversifying assembly/manufacturing of M-MRCA? Won't it be better if Government encourages and support setting of a parallel assembly line owned by a private company or consortium by acquiring 49% stakes for first few years or until company starts making profit? Your views, please!
