HAL received the tender in June 2024, and the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approval paved the way for the mass production of these advanced helicopters.

Additionally, the CCS has sanctioned a Rs 7,000 crore deal for 307 Advanced Towed Artillery Gun Systems (ATAGS), with orders shared between Bharat Forge and Tata Group, further advancing India’s indigenous defence manufacturing.
