What HAL expects for FY27?

HAL last week released its annual report, announcing that its order book stood at a staggering Rs 2.55 lakh crore for the financial year 2026. The outlook for FY 2026-27 and beyond will remain positive, HAL noted, led by a strong order book providing 7-8 years of revenue visibility.

The company expects improved growth through better supply chain stabilization, capacity expansion (including significant infrastructure investments) and faster production ramp-up for key platforms, HAL said in its annual report on August 4.

The company said it is well positioned to benefit from opportunities across aircraft, helicopters, aero engines, avionics and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) projects. It added that execution of ongoing programmes, along with expected orders for fighter aircraft, rotary-wing platforms and upgrade projects, is likely to provide strong medium- to long-term revenue visibility.

HAL said these initiatives are expected to support its long-term growth while strengthening its role in India's aerospace and defence ecosystem and improving its competitiveness in global markets.
