Russian delegation visits HAL's Sukhoi facility in Nasik - The Times of India


NASIK: A high level Russian delegation led by Mikhail A Pogosyan, president, United Aircraft Corporation, visited aircraft manufacturing and overhaul divisions of HAL at Nasik recently.

"They had first-hand impression of the state of the art facilities created for Su 30 MKI manufacturing and overhaul facilities at Nasik", said Dr RK Tyagi, Chairman, HAL.

The 4.5 generation aircraft, the main striking force of the Indian Air Force is manufactured at five divisions of HAL Nasik, Koraput (Odisha), Lucknow, Hyderabad and Korwa (UP).

That's very slow. HAL should manufacture at least 24 MKIs a year.

The line was not set up for that production, originally the nasik division line was set up for 12 planes, and they are doing everything to squeeze out more. When the total requirement cap was raised. Plant layouts are not childs play, this should have been planned from from day 1. if IAF with coffers swelling with tax payers money decides to behave like a spoiled brat, it is not HAL's fault.
