INDUSTRY OUTLOOK:
After COVID-19, the Aerospace & Defence (A&D)industry is recovering in both Civil and Defence Sectors. The Defence Sector is expected to continueto grow in 2023-24, as due to global geopolitical conflicts many countries have significantly increased
Defence budgets to strengthen their military capabilities. In Civil Sector, the global passenger traffic has improved significantly in 2022 which is expected to reach 2019 levels by end of 2023 or early 2024. This has become a driving factor for large size manufacturing orders and aftersales activities in theindustry.
Indian Defence Sector which was so far contributingas strategic sector is gradually developing as an economic sector which is capable to contribute to the economic growth of the country. Under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, Government is facilitating the development of the Indian industry to reduce the defence import as well as dependence on the foreign OEMs. Various initiatives of the GoI in recent days have given thrust on the indigenization and indigenous procurement of defence equipment.
Over next 5 -10 years such reforms will equally help Defence PSUs and private industry to put a firm step towards achieving a self-sustaining Defence industryin the country. As continuous efforts towards achieving self-reliance “Atmanirbharta” in the Aerospace & Defence industry in India, HAL will remain involved in supporting Startup Companies, SMEs/ MSMEs, Tier – II and III vendors. HAL will alsokeep handholding the vendors and suppliers in R&D, capability development and extended employmentgeneration.
