HAL registers revenue of ₹32,250 crore during FY2025-26

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has recorded a revenue of ₹32,250 crores (provisional and unaudited) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, as against the revenue of ₹ 30,981 crores during the previous year.

The Bengaluru headquartered defence PSU said that 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, it said.

“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, chairman and managing director, HAL.

HAL said that its order book remained healthy at around ₹ 2.54 lakh crores as on March 31 2026, against the opening order book position of Rs 1.89 lakh crores, after adjusting current-year liquidation.

It said that the increase is mainly due to the signing of major orders with the Ministry of Defence for the supply of 97 Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Mk1A aircraft for ₹ 62,370 crores, six ALH CG for ₹2,704 crores, and eight Dornier CG for ₹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 books remained healthy and are expected to remain robust in the coming years,” it said.

During the year, the Company has paid an interim dividend of ₹35/- per equity share at a face value of ₹5/- each for the FY 2025-26, totalling ₹ 2,341 crores. Further, a final dividend of ₹15/- per equity share at a face value of ₹5/- each for the FY 2024-25, totalling ₹1,003 crores has been paid. The total cash outflow for payment of the above dividend during the year is ₹ 3,344 crores to its shareholders.
