US defence major Boeing has terminated a contract with state-run Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) for component supplies to the former’s war and commercial planes being inducted into the Indian Navy.
Boeing’s decision came after repeated reminders to HAL about its “poor quality” of production, sources said, adding that the US company’s move underlined the need for better strategies by India’s policymakers in order to bolster the order books of defence PSUs.

Boeing has over the last few years shifted its component sourcing requirements in India to private companies — Tata Group, Dynamatic Technologies, Rossell Techsys and others.
Under a $4.7-million contract signed with Boeing in 2010, HAL was to provide weapons bay doors for eight P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft that the former would supply to the Indian Navy.

The contract with HAL for equipment for the P8I, through its avionics division in Hyderabad, was the first P-8I offset package that Boeing had directly executed with India’s largest aerospace company. In addition to its work on the P-8I programme, HAL was to also supply Boeing with gun bay doors and wire harnesses for the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and uplock boxes for the 777 commercial airplane.
Boeing refused to comment for this story, while senior HAL officials said although “there were problems” (with the Boeing contract), these would be resolved.

“Boeing is already working with multiple companies in India to fulfil its commitments. We are actively working global sourcing strategies that can help make Boeing more competitive around the world, in addition to building India’s aerospace capabilities and meeting our offset commitments,” Dennis Swanson, vice-president of Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) in India, had told FE in an interview earlier.

Industry sources have indicated that since 2014, Boeing has been expressing its dissatisfaction with HAL’s performance and has moved to other firms to meet its requirements. For instance, Dynamatic Technologies and Tata Advanced Materials (TAML) are delivering power and mission equipment cabinets for P-8I aircraft, and TAML is also on contract to provide P-8I auxiliary power unit door fairings. Dynamatic Technologies is on contract to manufacture the aft pylon and cargo ramp assemblies for Boeing’s CH-47F Chinook. Maini and TAL Manufacturing Solutions are on contract to provide C-17 ground support equipment to Boeing.

Boeing is interested in setting up a manufacturing base in India under the ‘Make in India’ programme. It has recently inked a framework agreement with Tata Advanced Systems to collaborate in aerospace and defence manufacturing and potential integrated systems development opportunities, including unmanned aerial vehicles.

Obviously,,,this is a fact.
Majority of the crashes and other problems in our armed forces could be traced back to the shitty quality control and maintainance of these wise guys.Time has come to empower the private sector.

A corrupt private sector is 100 times better than this defunct organization surviving just on the strength of trade unions and political connections.

No one can seriously defend them.

not surprised HAL needs to be privatised or at least its mangement
 
there is a reason why all the world's top companies have a presence in China for outsourcing manufacturing. Now you see how difficult it is to contract out production from China to other countries. Vietnamese and other dreamers dream of the day when the west will move their production to their country. Good luck to that.
Boeing at least is doing some damage control by stopping this contract while cutting some losses.

Lol the hans have came for cherry picking:rofl:
Boy you don't know how many jv and airbus and other global aerospace giants are setting their shops in INDIA.
 
our PAC is better then HAL and providing good support to PAF
 
the day when they have any fear .all gov employees in south asia are fearless and pass just time to end of month

Perfectly true. I have never in the world ( worked for Thales ) met a group of people unsuited unskilled and incapable of learning for defence work, or any other kind of work. They are stupid complacent and smug fully aware that their political masters, managers and the fanboys from India will always support them, who see it as their religious/nationalistic/sacred/inescapable/divine duty . You cant reason with such blind faith and moronic stupidity. Nothing in the MOD will change as they are totally invested in this "ship of fools", they scratch each others back while vacuously chanting about "futuristic" "game changing" "cutting edge" "leading technology" that can convince an uneducated awam but certainly not the enemy.A minor collage in the west or singapore/korea/taiwan could cook up in a year given a tenth of DRDO resources what these wastrels claim to have "achieved".
