This is the current production standard so all new ALHs inducted into the IA/IAF/ICG etc will be Mk.3, it just so happens that the IA helo unit tasked with Nepal relief ops happened to have inducted the Mk.3.

When a mission is being tasked the version of a/c the units are flying are not weighed in (unless there is a particular imperative to do so)- what assets are there are put to use.


In fact the many of the later MK.2s are going to be given the same hardware (IDS, FLIR and Glass cockpits as well as the uprated engines) as part of they MLUs.

mark 2 have glass cockpit. only mark-1 have conventional cockpit.
i think the mark 3 is more capable in flying in bad weather conditions. that may be the reason.

The Mk.3 has an updated cockpit to the Mk.2 but this is very easily retrofitted onto the Mk.2. And like I said bro, the IA unit currently in Nepal were not tasked to fly there because they had MK.3s they just happened to have them! I saw an interview with the CO of the IA HU whose helos (well 5 of them) are in Nepal right now and he said they were the closest IA aviation unit to Nepal and that's why they were called in, just like all the IAF's helos belong to HUs deployed in the East of India.

MKIII has more powerful (1000 kw) Shakti engine.
