Bengaluru, DHNS: A cultural festival may be an unlikely forum to launch military hardware but that was the setting for the inauguration of the assembly line for the new Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
Following the main programme at Kannada Nadahabba, a cultural event organised by HAL employees on Thursday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh threw open the new assembly line which will augment the LCH production capacity to reach a peak production of 30 helicopters per year, according to G V S Bhaskar, CEO of the Helicopter Complex.
