The Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd on Saturday clarified that it has not finalised any consultancy firm to benchmark its Research and Development (R&D) processes.

HAL records Rs 30,400 cr revenue in FY25 despite LCA, ALH delivery delays

Defence PSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Monday announced that it recorded a revenue of Rs 30,400 crore (provisional and unaudited) for the financial year ending March 31, 2025, compared to Rs 30,381 crore in the previous year. This achievement comes despite a shortfall in the deliveries of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH). The LCA deliveries were delayed due to the non-availability of engines, HAL's Chairman and Managing Director, D K Sunil, said. "The ALH delivery schedule was also impacted by the accident in January 2025 and the subsequent grounding of the fleet. However, accelerated deliveries of other products and services helped us maintain our top line," Sunil stated in a release issued by HAL. The statement further noted that with a significant improvement in its order book over the past 12 months, the company focused on expanding its capacities.
