Are Major Sahab,
People say that an upgraded engine with 20% higher power is going to be available and LUH and future ALH familiy is going to use the same. Do you or @sancho or any other member has any idea?
Doesn't look like the same digicam on the TD-2 which looked great IMHO.

Ecuador loses another Dhruv helo to crash - IHS Jane's 360
Dhruv helicopter crash in Tena, Ecuador.
In Ecuador, two HAL Dhruv ALHs have crashed in as many weeks. That's over half the FAE Dhruv fleet lost in the 6 years since purchased.

Total 4 Dhruv crashed out of 7.
Actually Dhruv had a bad record initially in India, same thing with Nepal, probably certain tips about handling it at certain points of flight envelope may need to be passed on. Alternatively thorough review to rule out sabotage may be needed.One needs to ask some hard questions os the level of training these Ecuadorian pilots have and their SOPs, the ALH has an exemplary service record in India with hundreds of the bird in service, Ecuador has under ten and they have had almost as many crashes as India has!
