HAL’s poor planning leads to delay in Inking Rafale Deal

[arp2041]

As per latest news emerging in media , MOD will not be able to start negotiations with French manufacturer Dassault to ink the MMRCA L1 bidder Dassault Rafale since HAL has missed the deadline for the filing license production evaluation report.

If negotiations had taken place as per original schedule , first few Rafale made in France by Dassault could have started arriving in India by 2015 , but now that can be pushed back to 2016 .

this will also mean that local production of rafale in HAL complex will also be delayed , HAL has been notorious in having delays in setting up production facility for aircraft’s , Internal redtape with the state-owned HAL has been criticized by Air force and defence experts many times in past .

Recently after complains filed by a member of Parliament into allegation of corruption in MMRCA L1 bidding process was not found to be true and MOD had cleared the whole MMRCA Bid has been termed has appropriate and within the terms of the Request for Proposals and Defence Procurement Procedure, 2006.

Dassault has been able to appoint local suppliers and partners for the rafale in India within this time frame , poor planning by HAL on its part will cost some few months and sources are also skeptical if HAL will be able to setup a Production plant in India in time frame to start manufacturing aircraft’s , In Sukhoi deal HAL for some time took help from Russian firms to assemble Kits supplied by Russian partner which lead to higher import cost since it was not able to Indigence the complete production in India for which CAG had heavy criticized the state-owned company .

Sources in Air force are hope full that HAL learns from it mistake and keeps pace with developments and keeps delivery of aircraft’s in time , HAL not only has to increase man power for this deal in time but also has to set up different production facility for aircraft’s and engine manufacturing .

HAL ka koi toh "hal" nikalo, i don't mind if first 50-60 Rafale's directly come from France till then HAL can be taught how to produce it locally.

Seriously, LCA late, FGFA late, now Rafale late

"Planning" and "being on schedule" is alien to any PSU and govt office in india.

HAL alone can't be blamed, it has a lot of burden to deal with..

Looks like some one wants media to make big news out of few months and get all the planes from France.

 

[black_jack]

We need private aircraft manufacturing firm .

 

[gslv]

we need to either privatize or split HAL and DRDO into into another 2 groups. then let them compete among them. also private companies should also be given chance. otherwise this $hit will happen once again. if this situation continues then AMCA will become reality around 2050.

Hal is taking its time like MOD and IAF did during evaluations, Why the big fuss?? nobody complained about delays in evaluating the fighter or price negotiations.

Maybe this is the reason why Tejas sufffered so many setbacks. Hal should be revamped.

U r right.. The GoI havent developed any other PSU other than HAL to build Aircrafts... Moreover it didnt even allow private players in aviation defence until recently... So From building from engine to nuts, the bburden is falling on HAL....

 

[Wet Shirt Contest]

Sell 49% of HAL shares to Private firms, I know how they work

 

[INDIAISM]

what else can you expect from these lazy bums.....ise kehte hai


HAL Ye Kaise Chli Toone CHAL jisse Kr Diya Toone Airforce Ka HAL BEHAL

 

[karan21]

tata, l&t and mahindra and some of the major industrial partners in HAL. they r both looking for acquiring aerospace companies internationally. give a stake to them in HAL and see what happens... They will change it all over.

Man people need to stop with the over-critical approach to HAL and MMRCA in general. We really do not know the exact reasons behind the delay- they could be perfectly legitimate. MMRCA contract will be signed this FY, a few weeks here and there make little difference in the long run and I'm sure Dassult will want to exceed expectations like US did with Hercs and deliver well ahead of schedule.
