Def Ministry to procure Rs.9,900cr of aircraft-training ships  

Ministry of Defence has signed contracts with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) for procurement of 70 HTT-40 Basic Trainer Aircraft & three Cadet Training Ships, respectively.

In a major boost to the Government’s efforts to achieve ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in defence, the Cabinet had, on 1 Mar 2023, approved the procurement of 70 HTT-40 trainer aircraft from HAL at a cost of over Rs.6,800 crore.

The Cabinet had also cleared signing of contract with L&T for acquisition of three Cadet Training Ships from L&T, worth more than Rs.3,100 crore under Buy Indian-IDDM (Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured)} category.

The HTT-40 is a turbo prop aircraft possessing good low speed handling qualities and provides better training effectiveness. This fully aerobatic tandem seat turbo trainer has an air-conditioned cockpit, modern avionics, hot re-fueling, running change over and zero-zero ejection seats.

The aircraft will meet the shortage of basic trainer aircraft of Indian Air Force for training of newly-inducted pilots.

The procurement will include associated equipment and training aids including simulators. Being an indigenous solution, the aircraft is configurable for upgrades to incorporate the futuristic requirements of the Indian Armed Forces. The aircraft will be supplied over a period of six years.

The HTT-40 contains approx. 56% indigenous content which will progressively increase to over 60% through indigenisation of major components and subsystems.

The HAL would engage the domestic private industry, including MSMEs, in its supply chain. The procurement has the potential to provide direct and indirect employment to thousands of people spread over more than 100 MSMEs.

The ships will cater to the training of officer cadets, including women, at sea after their basic training to meet the future requirements of the Indian Navy. The ships would also provide training to cadets from friendly countries with the aim to strengthen diplomatic relations.

The ships can also be deployed for evacuation of people from distress areas, Search & Rescue and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations. The delivery of ships is scheduled to commence from 2026.

The ships will be indigenously designed, developed and constructed at L&T shipyard in Kattupalli, Chennai.

The project will generate an employment of 22.5 lakh man-days over a period of four-and-half years, the Defence Ministry said on 7 Mar 2023 after signing the contracts. This will encourage active participation of Indian shipbuilding and associated industries, including MSMEs. fiinews.com
