Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) recorded a revenue of Rs. 32,250 crores (provisional and unaudited) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, as against the revenue of Rs. 30,981 crores during the previous year.
This achievement was made possible despite the challenges faced in deliveries of LCA Mk1A and HTT 40 due to supply chain issues arising from geopolitical and technical challenges. However, deliveries of ALH, AL31-FP, RD-33 engines, and other products and services were accelerated, helping maintain the top line and healthy profitability.
“HAL has shown resilience and maintained steady growth despite geopolitical tensions, global conflicts, and supply chain challenges in the aerospace and defence sectors. During the past year, HAL strengthened its order pipeline, expanded its manufacturing capability and diversified into the civil segment to support future growth,” said Dr. D K Sunil, CMD, HAL.
HAL’s order book remained healthy at around Rs 2.54 lakh crores as on 31st March 2026, against the opening order book position of Rs 1.89 lakh crores, after adjusting current-year liquidation. The increase is mainly due to the signing of major orders with the MoD for the supply of 97 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mk1A aircraft for Rs 62,370 crores, six ALH CG for Rs 2,704 crores, and eight Dornier CG for Rs 2,186 crores. The outstanding manufacturing orders for helicopters, aircraft, and engines provide long-term revenue visibility over the next 7-8 years. Also, the ROH, spares and other order book remained healthy and are expected to remain robust in the coming years.
During the year, the Company has paid an interim dividend of Rs 35/- per equity share at a face value of Rs 5/- each for the FY 2025-26, totalling Rs 2,341 crores. Further, a final dividend of Rs 15/- per equity share at a face value of Rs 5/- each for the FY 2024-25, totalling Rs 1,003 crores has been paid. The total cash outflow for payment of the above dividend during the year is Rs 3,344 crores to its shareholders.
During the year, the Company made significant progress in capacity augmentation with the operationalisation of the third LCA Tejas production line and second HTT 40 line at its Nasik Division. The company also signed an MoU with Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI) to set up a Strategic Metal Bank for critical raw materials, paving the way for self-reliance in critical strategic materials.
