Recognising defence exports as a key pillar of sustainable growth of the Indian defence industry, the Indian Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh inaugurated the Regional Office of DPSU Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 11, 2023.
This Regional Office will facilitate close defence industrial collaboration between India and Malaysia.
Further, it will also serve as a hub for the HAL’s engagement with the wider South-East Asian region and act as a window for other Indian Defense PSUs.
Besides, the office in Kuala Lumpur will enhance HAL’s ability to secure the deal while also enabling them to fulfil other requirements of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) like the upgradation and servicing of the Russian Su-30s and British Hawk trainer aircraft.
