Lucknow, February 7

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has received the initial operational clearance (IOC) for its light utility helicopter (LUH), paving the way for its production.

There is requirement of some 484 light copters for the three armed forces and the LUH is expected to fill in with at least 187. However, there is no order for manufacturing so far from either the Indian Air Force or the Indian Army.

The LUH is a single engine, lightweight, highly agile 3-tonne utility helicopter, indigenously designed and developed to meet the operational requirements of Indian Army and the IAF. — TNS
