Answer 1

It was not an ideal way to mark an important occasion. The 55th anniversary of the amalgamation of Hindustan Aircraft Limited and Aeronautics India Limited, which gave life to a single national aviation entity, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), fell on October 1, exactly a fortnight before a call for indefinite industrial action by the All India HAL Trade Unions’ Coordination Committee (AIHALTUCC) on the issue of “Wage Revision of Workmen” effective from January 1, 2017. The committee is an umbrella entity representing the trade unions of HAL units spread across nine locations and the entire unionised cadre of around 18,700 workmen.

HAL, a Defence Public Sector Enterprise (DPSE), has recorded a turnover of Rs.19,400 crore in the financial year ending March 31, 2019, a growth in revenue of 6 per cent over the previous year. The last financial year saw HAL produce 41 new aircraft/helicopters and 98 new engines, and carry out the overhaul of 213 aircraft/helicopters and 540 engines.
