In Defence of HAL

“HAL being removed from the IAF’s Rafale acquisition programme at the last minute – and for reasons best known to the authorities – is astonishing to say the least” opines GS Jamadagni, former GM ( Quality Assurance) Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, who retired from HAL after 40 years of service. He urges that HAL should be considered for licence manufacture of the balance Rafales required by the IAF, should this decision be taken.
