Delayed Deliveries in Defence Sector: A Wake Up Call for HAL and the Government The recent handover of indigenous aviation platforms by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) to the Indian Air Force and Pawan Hans Ltd marks a significant milestone, but it also highlights the persistent issue of delays in defence projects.
