HAL Records Highest-Ever Turnover Amid Questions Over Its Capability
"Inspite of challenges, the Company has achieved significant growth in
revenue": HAL statement

BENGALURU: Days after Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman questioned the
production capacity of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the public
limited company announced its highest ever turnover of Rs. 18,28,386 lakh
in FY 2017-18, in comparison with the previous year's turnover of Rs.
17,60,379 lakh.

The company underlined that it has produced 40 aircraft and helicopters,
including Su-30 MKI, LCA Tejas and Dornier Do-228 in fixed wing and ALH
Dhruv and Cheetal Helicopters in rotary wing. In addition, the company said
it has produced 105 new engines, overhauled 220 aircraft/helicopters and
550 engines and 146 new aero-structures for space programs were produced
during the period.

This was disclosed during the HAL's 55th Annual General Body Meeting of
Shareholders, first after its listing at the new HAL Management Academy
(HMA) campus at Bengaluru on Friday.

The disclosure comes close to the Defence Minister's claims that one of the
reason for the deal for 126 Rafale planes falling under the UPA regime was
that HAL did not have required capability to produce them. On Thursday,
Minister of State for Heavy Industries Babul Supriyo said, HAL had quoted
double man power hours to Dassault Aviation for a job that could be done in
"100 man-hours".

HAL's new Chairman and Managing Director, R Madhavan, in his address to the
shareholders, presented the performance highlights for the year 2017-18 and
discussed the future plans of the company besides addressing the concerns
of the shareholders.

"He acknowledged the trust and confidence of the Shareholders and
reiterated his commitment to pursue growth opportunities for the Company.
He said that in spite of the challenges, the Company has achieved
significant growth in revenue and profits," HAL said in a statement.

The 55th Annual Report for the FY 2017-18 was circulated to all the stake
holders. HAL's Profit Before Tax for the year was Rs. 3,32,284 lakh as
against Rs. 3,58,258 lakh in the previous year. The Profit After Tax (PAT)
for the year was Rs. 2,07,041 lakh.

Talking to ANI, an HAL official said: "We are producing so many complex
platforms like Sukhoi and different versions of MiGs. So, with the help of
the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) we would have done it (Rafale)
too."
