Defence Minister inaugurates HAL’s second LCA plant

The Defence Minister Mr. Rajnath Singh inaugurated the second plant of HAL’s LCA Division a day before the show began. He lauded the efforts made by HAL to increase the production rate of LCAs which is going to be “the backbone of IAF fighter fleet in years to come. “HAL’s new LCA facility is example of how ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ is shaping and HAL deserves the largest indigenous order of 83 LCA Mk-IA. LCA is pride of India and sends the right message to others that India can make fighters of class in-house. The fighter is superior in many ways when compared to others fighters in its category besides being cost effective. I compliment HAL for working through the COVID times and bringing out this facility.”
