Revamping of Hindustan Aeronautics

Government constituted an Expert Group under the Chairmanship of Shri B.K. Chaturvedi, Member, Planning Commission for Strengthening and Restructuring of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The Committee based on their various meetings and deliberations finalized the report and submitted to the Government on 7.9.2012. Out of 38 recommendations of the Committee, 34 are accepted and remaining 4 recommendations were not accepted.

HAL manages its quality function through regulatory and Quality Management Systems (QMS), encompassing total quality principles of process approach, customer focus, continual improvement and measurement & analysis, across all its Divisions.

Quality performance of the Company is also monitored through MoU (signed between HAL and Ministry of Defence). Lifing decision for Engines of Jaguar and Hawk aircraft are declared by a Lifing Committee. As per Lifing Committee, there is no reduction of Time between Overhaul (TBO) for Engines of Jaguar Aircraft which is 1200 hours for Adour Mk.811 Engines.

For Hawk aircraft engines (Adour 871), the designated TBO life of 2000 hours has been achieved. Life of Engines was earlier restricted to 1000 hours for those engines manufacture at HAL. This was due to the restrictions on the life of 4 components. The TBO was subsequently increased to 1400 hours by the Lifing Committee. Based on further sampling tests carried out, Lifing Committee has increased the TBO from 1400 hours to 2000 hours for engines currently being manufactured.

This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply to Shri A.K Selvaraj in Rajya Sabha on Thursday, 30 July 2015.
