Sukhoi programme as scheduled: HAL

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Sunday said that the Sukhoi-30 MKi programme was on schedule.

In a release here, HAL denied reports citing a Russian newspaper as "completely incorrect" and added that the total technology for Sukhoi was getting established in HAL as planned. The production of the fighter aircraft continued, it said.

To optimise investment and complete the programme of producing the aircraft three years ahead of the scheduled time of 2018, as required by the Indian Air Force, HAL was sourcing certain components and systems from Russia, it said.

The programme was continuing at an accelerated pace as compared to the earlier plan, according to the release.
