HAL Order

"Cabinet Committee on Security, on September 02, 2024, approved the proposal for procurement of 240 aero-engines (AL-31FP) for Su-30 MKI aircraft of
the Indian Air Force (IAF) under Buy (Indian) category from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) at a cost of over Rs 26,000 crore inclusive of all taxes and duties," the company said in an exchange filing.

The delivery of these aero-engines would start after one year and complete over a period of eight years.

The engines will have an indigenous content of over 54 per cent, enhanced due to the indigenisation of some key aero-engine components. These would be manufactured at HAL's Koraput division.

Su-30 MKI is one of the most powerful and strategically significant fleets of IAF. The supply of these aero-engines by HAL would meet the fleet sustenance requirement of IAF to continue their unhindered operations and strengthen the defence preparedness of the country.
