Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) expects its order book to grow to ₹2.5 trillion in FY26, as orders for 97 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk-1A and 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) Prachand, worth ₹1.3 trillion, are nearing final clearance. These orders are expected to be confirmed within the next 3-6 months, HAL Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) DK Sunil announced during a press conference at Aero India 2025 in Bengaluru.

Upcoming Orders and Growth Outlook

HAL is actively working on securing additional orders, with an expected ₹1.65 trillion worth of contracts in the next 12 months. These include:

• Su-30MKI fighter jet upgrades
• Design and development (D&D) sanction for the Indian Multi-Role Helicopter (IMRH)
• Regular repair and overhaul (ROH) contracts

With these additions, HAL’s total order book is projected to reach ₹2.5 trillion by the end of FY26, even after considering the execution of ongoing projects.

Orders Secured in FY25 So Far

In the first 9 months of FY25, HAL received new orders worth ₹55,800 crore, including:

• ₹39,000 crore in manufacturing orders
  • 240 AL 31 FP engines worth ₹25,350 crore
  • 12 Su-30MKI fighter jets valued at ₹12,573 crore
• ₹16,500 crore in ROH, spares, and D&D orders

As of December 2024, HAL’s total order book stands at approximately ₹1.33 trillion.

HAL’s Growth and Production Plans

HAL has achieved Maharatna status, making it the first defence public sector company to earn this recognition. In FY24, it recorded the highest-ever revenue from operations of ₹30,381 crore, with double-digit growth.

Addressing concerns over production delays, the CMD confirmed that HAL will ramp up its LCA Tejas manufacturing capacity. From FY26, the company plans to produce 24 LCAs annually, operating from three production facilities—2 in Bengaluru and 1 in Nasik. The first LCA from the Nasik facility is expected to roll out by March 2025.

LCA Mk-1A Deliveries and Engine Supply Issues

The delivery of LCA Mk-1A aircraft was initially scheduled for February 2024 but faced delays due to supply chain issues with GE Aerospace’s F404-IN20 engines. To continue production, HAL used reserve engines from previous Tejas variants. GE has now resolved the supply issue and committed to delivering 12 engines this year.

HAL has already built 3 LCA Mk-1A jets, with a total of 11 aircraft expected to be completed by the end of FY26. The company aims to deliver all LCA Mk-1As by 2031-32.

Export Challenges and Expansion Plans

Despite its strong domestic order pipeline, HAL faces challenges in securing export contracts for its indigenous aircraft. The company is focusing on international markets in Southeast Asia, North Africa, and South America. To boost exports, the Indian government is working on providing lines of credit (LoCs) to potential buyers.

Indian Air Force’s LCA Plans

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has already placed an order for 83 LCA Mk-1A jets at ₹36,468.63 crore. Additionally, it has moved forward with plans to acquire 97 more LCA Mk-1A aircraft, for which an Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) has been granted. The estimated cost for this order is ₹65,848 crore, and the Contract Negotiation Committee (CNC) process is ongoing.

Once all these orders are finalised, the IAF will have a total of 220 Tejas fighter jets across Mk-I and Mk-1A variants.

HAL share price is trading at ₹3,597.00, down 1.44% as of 12:22 PM on February 12. The stock opened at ₹3,639.05, reached a high of ₹3,641.95, and a low of ₹3,470.05. HAL has a market capitalisation of ₹2.41 lakh crore, a P/E ratio of 28.24, and a dividend yield of 0.97%. The stock’s 52-week high stands at ₹5,674.75, while its 52-week low is ₹2,824.85.

Conclusion

HAL is on track for significant order growth in the coming years, with plans to expand production and meet the needs of the Indian defence sector. However, export opportunities remain a key challenge, and the company is actively working to secure deals with friendly foreign nations.

Adani Group stocks saw a surge of up to 4% on February 11, 2025, following reports that several US Congressmen had written to the newly appointed US Attorney General, requesting a probe into the previous Department of Justice’s (DoJ) indictment of Adani Group officials.

Stock Gains Across Adani Group

Adani Enterprises and Adani Power saw more than 4% gains, while Adani Green Energy and Adani Energy Solutions stocks rose over 3% each. Other Adani Group stocks, including Adani Ports and Adani Total Gas, also saw increases of more than 1%. This rally took place despite a decline in the broader Indian stock market on the same day.

US Congressmen Challenge Adani’s Indictment

The rally in Adani Group stocks was fueled by reports that 6 US Congressmen had written a letter on February 10 to Pamela Bondi, the new US Attorney General. The Congressmen raised concerns about the previous DoJ’s decision to indict Adani Group executives in an alleged bribery case. The letter highlighted the questionable nature of the indictment and its potential to damage the relationship between the US and India, a key ally.

Allegations and Concerns

The DoJ had charged Adani Group’s billionaire founder, Gautam Adani, with allegedly orchestrating a $250 million (₹2,100 crore) bribery scheme to secure favourable terms for solar power contracts in India. However, the Adani Group denied the charges, calling them baseless. The Congressmen criticised the DoJ for pushing the case without deferring it to the appropriate Indian authorities, suggesting that it could harm US-India relations.

The Congressmen expressed concerns that such actions could jeopardise America’s relationship with India, an important partner in trade, economics, and geopolitics, especially ahead of President Trump’s potential return to office.
