HISTORY
 Workers check new fuel tanks during World War II.

 HAL was established as Hindustan Aircraft Limited in Bangalore on 23 December 1940 by Walchand
Hirachand in association with the Kingdom of Mysore.(10) Walchand Hirachand became chairman of the
company. The company’s office was opened at a bungalow called “Eventide” on Domlur Road.
 The organisation and equipment for the factory at Bangalore was set up by Willam D. Pawley of the
Intercontinental Aircraft Corporation of New York. Pawley obtained a large number of machine- tools and
equipment from the United States.
The Indian Government bought a one- third stake in the company and by April 1941 by investing ₹25lskh as it
believed this to be a strategic imperative. The decision by the government was primarily motivated to boost British
military hardware supplies in Asia to counter the increasing threat posed by imperial Japan during Second World War.
The Kingdom of Mysore supplied two directors, Air Marshal John Higgins was resident director. The first aircraft
built was a Harlow PC-5 (11) on 2 April 1942, the government announced that the company had been nationalized
when it bought out the stakes of Seth Walchand Hirachand and other promoters so that it could act freely. The
Mysore Kingdom refused to sell its stake in the company but yielded the management control over to the British
Indian Government. In 1943 the Bangalore factory was handed over the United States Army Forces but still using
Hindustan Aircraft management. The factory expanded rapidly and became the centre for major overhaul and repair
of American aircraft and was known as the 84th Air Depot.
The first aircraft to be overhaul was a consolidated PBY Catalina followed by every type of aircraft operated in India
and Burma. When returned to Indian control two years later the factory had become one of the largest overhaul and
repair organisations in the East. In the post war reorganization, the company-built railway carriage as an interim
activity.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT

1
Production is the creation of goods and services. The production activity is nothing but the step by step conversion of
raw materials into final product as per customer requirement by value addition. This is done in factories which have
manufacturing process.
“production management is concerned with those processes which convert the inputs into outputs. The input are
various resources like raw materials, men, material, machines etc. and the outputs are goods and services.”
These days, both production and service organisations fall within the scope of production management. Thus,
production management which was earlier considered as manufacturing management only, now after the inclusion of
services within its scope, is broadly known as operations management.
Production is an organised activity of a manufacturing organisation. Every organisation tries to identify and see the
degree of their attainment. The identification of objectives increases the consciousness of personnel working in the
organisation since their performance is to be judged against the objectives.
The globalisation of economies has created intense competition among producers. In such a cut-throat competition,
only those will survive who will produce as per the requirements of the users and at a reasonable cost.

Manufacturing is the value added production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools,
chemical and biological processing, or formulation. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft
to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into
finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other,
more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell
them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers.
Manufacturing engineering or manufacturing process are the steps through which raw materials are transformed into a
final product. The manufacturing process begins with the product design, and materials specification from which the
product is made. These materials are then modified through manufacturing processes to become the required part.
According to some economists, manufacturing is a wealth-producing sector of a country, whereas a service sector
tends to be wealth-consuming. [1][2] Emerging technologies have provided some new growth in advanced
manufacturing employment opportunities in the. Manufacturing provides important material support for national
infrastructure and for national defence.
The negative costs of manufacturing can also be addressed legally. Developed countries regulate manufacturing
activity with labour laws and environmental laws. Across the globe, manufacturers can be subject to regulations and
pollution taxes to offset the environmental costs of manufacturing activities. Labour unions and craft guilds have
played a historic role in the negotiation of worker rights and wages.

Indian industry today is on the threshold of entering into a new era where it will assume greater responsibility in
making the nation self-reliant in Defence Production. The resurgence of India’s manufacturing sector has been
remarkable. Not only are the profits soaring, the sector is also making its presence felt abroad as many Indian firms
are becoming transnational companies.
The Indian manufacturing sector is internationally competitive with international quality standards, efficiency and
manufacturing facilities. India is fast developing into a manufacturing hub for world corporations wanting to leverage
the sector’s proven skills in product design, reconfiguration and customization with creativity, assured quality and
value addition.
India, also keen to strengthen its own aerospace industry and has asked major weapon exporting countries to transfer
technology to India.

Indian Aerospace Industry


The Indian Aerospace Industry is witnessing an unprecedented growth. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which
is fully owned by the Government of India, is the premier aerospace company in the country. HAL has played a major
role in the Defence aviation of India through design, manufacture and overhaul of fighters, trainers, helicopters,
transport aircraft, engines, avionics and system equipment. HAL is now ranked 34th in the list of world’s top 100
defence companies.
HAL is a major partner for the Space programmes of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and manufactures
structures and assemblies for the launch vehicles and satellites at its dedicated Aerospace Division in Bangalore. The
civil aviation sector in India is growing rapidly. It has recorded annual growth of over 41% in passenger traffic during
in the last two years. In fact, it has contributed significantly to the growth of international civil aviation sector. The
rapid growth of civil aviation has put extreme pressure on the existing civil aviation infrastructure. As a result, the
thrust is now on modernization of airports, communications, navigation and surveillance systems for air traffic
management, radars and facilities for Maintenance Repair and Overhaul of aircraft and sub systems.
There is a thus enormous potential and huge opportunity for collaboration and creation of joint ventures in the
aerospace sector in India for establishing Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) facilities for civil and military aircraft,
overhaul and maintenance of aero engines and production of avionics, components and accessories both in the civil
and military aviation sectors. Major global aviation industry are already eyeing the local market in India and scouting
for outsourcing aerospace and defence products as India is fast emerging as a centre for engineering and design
services.

The history and growth of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is synonymous with the growth of Aeronautical
industry in India over the past 70 years. The Company which had its origin as the Hindustan Aircraft Company was
incorporated on 23 Dec 1940 at Bangalore by Shri Walchand Hirachand a farsighted visionary in association with the
Government of Mysore with an Authorized Capital of Rs.4 crores (Paid up capital Rs.40 Lakh) and with the aim of
manufacturing aircraft in India. In March 1941, the Government of India became one of the shareholders in the
Company holding 1/3 of its paid-up capital and subsequently took over its management in 1942. In collaboration with
the InterContinental Aircraft Company of USA, Hindustan Aircraft Company commenced its business of
manufacturing of Harlow Trainer, Curtiss Hawk Fighter. In Dec 1945,the company was placed under the
administrative control of Min. of Industry & Supply. In January 1951, Hindustan Aircraft Private Limited was placed
4
under the Administrative control of Ministry of Defence. The Company had built aircraft and engines of foreign
design under license, such as Prentice, Vampire and Gnat aircraft. It also undertook the design and development of
aircraft indigenously. In August 1951, the HT-2 Trainer aircraft, designed and produced by the company under the
able leadership of [Link] flew for the first time. Nearly 200 Trainers were manufactured and supplied to the
Indian Air Force and other customers. With the gradual building up of its design capability, the company successfully
designed and developed four other aircraft i.e. twoseater 'Pushpak' suitable for flying clubs, ‘Krishak' for Air
Observatory Post (AOP) role, HF-24 Jet Fighter '(Marut)' and the HJT-16 Basic Jet Trainer '(Kiran)'. Meanwhile, in
August 1963, Aeronautics India Limited (AIL) was incorporated as a Company wholly owned by the Government of
India to undertake the manufacture of the MiG-21 aircraft under license. In June 1964, the Aircraft
Manufacturing Depot which was set up in 1960 as an Air Force unit to produce the Airframe for the HS-748 transport
aircraft was transferred to AIL. Soon thereafter, the Government decided to amalgamate Hindustan Aircraft Limited,
with AIL so as to conserve resources in the field of aviation where the technical talent in the country was limited and
to enable the activities of all the aircraft manufacturing units to be planned and co-ordinated in the most efficient and
economical manner. Amalgamation of the two companies i.e. Hindustan Aircraft Limited and Aeronautics India
Limited was brought about on 1st Oct 1964 by an Amalgamation order issued by the Government of India and the
Company after the amalgamation was named as "Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)" with its principal business
being design, development, manufacture, repair and overhaul of aircraft, helicopter, engines and related systems like
avionics, instruments and accessories.

GROWTH AND CONSOLIDATION


In 1970, a separate division was set up exclusively for manufacture of 'Chetak' and 'Cheetah' Helicopters in Bangalore
under license from M/s SNIAS, France. A new division was also established to manufacture aircraft instruments and
accessories at Lucknow. License agreements were entered into with M/s Dunlop of U.K. for Wheels and Brakes,
Dowty for under carriages and Hydraulic equipment, and Normal air Garret for cabin air pressurization and air-
conditioning equipment, Smiths of UK, SFENA and SFIM of France for panel instruments and Gyros, Martin Baker
of UK for ejection seats and Lucas for engine fuel systems, for fitment on Marut,Kiran, Ajeet, Chetak, Cheetah and
Jaguar. Similar type of arrangements was agreed with USSR authorities for manufacture of accessories for MiG-21
series of [Link] and Development of Basant agricultural aircraft was undertaken between 1970 and 1974 and
design and development of Ajeet, an improved version of Gnat was undertaken between 1972 and 1980. In 1976
projects were sanctioned for design & development of the HPT-32 elementary piston engine trainer, Kiran MK II (an
improved version of Kiran MK I / IA) and Ajeet Trainer as well as for Advanced Light Helicopter. In 1971,Avionics
Design Bureau at Hyderabad was formed for the development and manufacture of IFF, UHF, HF,Radio components,
Radio Altimeter, Ground Radars etc., During 1973, a Design wing was set up at Lucknow for design and development
of accessories such as under-carriage and hydraulic systems, air-conditioning and pressurization systems, fuel
control/gauging systems, generator control and protection units, static inverters etc.,In 1979, after seeking a license
agreement with British Aerospace, the Company started manufacture of 'Jaguar' aircraft and with Rolls Royce-
Turbomeca for Adour engines. License agreements were also signed with different firms for manufacture of Avionics
and [Link] 1982, the Company entered into an agreement with USSR and started production of Swing-wing
MiG-27M aircraft as a follow on project for MiG-21 BIS at Nasik Division of the [Link] 1982, Korwa
Division of HAL in District Sultanpur (U.P.) was established for manufacture of Inertial Navigation System (INS),
Head Up Display and Weapon Aiming Computer (HUDWAC), Combined Map and Electronics Display (COMED),
Laser Ranger and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS), Auto Stabilizer and Flight Data Recorder for Jaguar and similar
advanced systems for MiG-27M.
HAL is actively engaged and is contributing to the space programmes of the country. A separate Aerospace division
was established in 1988. This Division is dedicated to space programme to meet the growing requirement of Indian
Space Research Organization.
In order to capture the growing market in the industrial gas turbine engines, a new Division called the Industrial &
Marine Gas Turbine Division, was formed in 1998. Currently the Division is undertaking Repair and Overhaul work
related with Industrial Avon Engines and Allison 501K and 571K series. In addition to this manufacture of LM 2500

5
engine is also being undertaken. The Division is doing the overhaul of various existing gas turbines in the country,
thus providing cost-effective services to users such as ONGC, GAIL, TNEB, RSEB etc.,

An independent profit Centre for providing Airport related services was created in May 2000 with a view to synergize
the operation of HAL Bangalore Airport. The main aim of creation of this Airport Service Centre is to restructure the
existing resources to provide focused attention in relation with the exacting market needs of service segment related to
airlines operation.
With the signing of agreement with Russian partners to take up license manufacture of SUKHOI 30 MKI Aircraft the
Nasik Division which had been engaged in manufacture & overhaul of MiG series Aircraft and lately upgrade of
MiGB is aircraft, had to be expanded. Accordingly it was decided in February, 2002 to have two Divisions at Nasik
i.e. Aircraft Manufacturing Division for Su-30 MKI production and Aircraft Overhaul Division for overhaul and
upgrade of existing MiG Series aircraft. Consequent on decision to manufacture AL 31 FP Engine for SU 30 MK1
Aircraft, under license from Russian Manufacturer, it was decided to establish a new Division at Koraput to take up
the project in February, 2002. The project activities under the new Division have accordingly commenced. In order to
facilitate Helicopter Division to dedicate itself exclusively for ALH manufacture and related activities,the
manufacturing and repair / overhaul activities of Chetakand Cheetah helicopters and their variants where transferred to
the Barrackpore Branch Factory and Barrackpore Division was formed and a new MRO Division created to carry out
ALH Overhaul activities in 2006 Composites material is being used extensively in aircraft manufacturing for its low
weight. A new Composite Manufacturing Division was formed in Mar 2007 with a dedicated manufacturing facility
for composite materials for in-house projects such as ALH, LCA etc. Facilities Management Division was created in
Dec 2007 for effective and focused attention towards the common services at Bangalore. In order to boost R & D
activities in-house, Mission & Combat System R & D Center was formed to concentrate on Mission systems, Aircraft
upgrades and technology development in Nov 2008. Additionally, Strategic electronics Factory at Kasaragod, Kerala,
a unit of HAL Hyderabad, was established Nov 2012. The in house development of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) will
give major boost to the modernization program of our Defense Services. For production of LCA, a separate Division
was established at Bangalore for production of Light Combat Aircraft in Mar 2014.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE


The Company has a comprehensive Design organization in its divisions. Out of 29 types of aircraft produced so far,
15 have been of indigenous design. The Company has long experience in design and manufacture of a diversified
range of aircraft and its systems. For further growth of the Company it was considered necessary for HAL to
strengthen its R&D capability and accordingly the erstwhile Design Bureaus have been restructured and reorganized

Human Resource Management is the process of recruitment, selection of employee, providing proper orientation and
induction, providing proper training and the developing skills, assessment of employee (performance of appraisal),
providing proper compensation and benefits, motivating, maintaining proper relations with labor and with trade
unions, maintaining employees safety, welfare and health by complying with labor laws of concern state or country.

Human: refer to the skilled workforce in the organization.


Resource: refer to limited availability or scarce.

21
Management: refer to maximize or proper utilization and make best use of limited and a scarce resource.

Human resource management is the process of proper and maximize utilization of available limited skilled workforce.
The core purpose of the human resource management is to make efficient use of existing human resource in the
organization. The Best example at present situation is, construction industry has been facing serious shortage of
skilled workforce. It is expected to triple in the next decade from the present 30 per cent, will negatively impact the
overall productivity of the sector .Every organizations desire is to have skilled and competent people to make their
organization more effective than their competitors. Humans are very important assets for the organization rather than
land and buildings, without employees (humans) no activity in the organization can be done. Machines are meant to
produce more goods with good quality but they should get operated by the human only.

FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE


• Job Analysis: Job analysis is the process of describing the nature of a job and specifying the human requirements,
such as skills, and experience needed to perform it. The end product of the job analysis process is the job description.
A job description spells out work duties and activities of employees. Job descriptions are a vital source of information
to employees, managers, and personnel people because job content has a great influence on personnel programmes
and practices.
• Staffing: Staffing emphasizes the recruitment and selection of the human resources for an organization. Human
resources planning and recruiting precede the actual selection of people for positions in an organization. Recruiting is
the personnel function that attracts qualified applicants to fill job vacancies. In the selection function, the most
qualified applicants are selected for hiring from among those attracted to the organization by the recruiting function.
On selection, human resource functionaries are involved in developing and administering methods that enable
managers to decide which applicants to select and which to reject for the given jobs.
• Orientation: Orientation is the first step toward helping a new employee to adjust himself to the new job and the
employer. It is a method to acquaint new employees with particular aspects of their new job, including pay and benefit
programmes, working hours, and company rules and expectations.
• Training and Development: The training and development function gives employees the skills and knowledge to
perform their jobs effectively. In addition to providing training for new or inexperienced employees, organizations
often provide training programmes for experienced employees whose jobs are undergoing change. Large organizations
often have development programmes which prepare employees for higher level responsibilities within the
organization. Training and development programmes provide useful means of assuring that employees are capable of
performing their jobs at acceptable levels.
• Performance Appraisal: Performance appraisal function monitors employee performance to ensure that it is at
acceptable levels. Human resource professionals are usually responsible for developing and administering
performance appraisal systems, although the actual appraisal of employee performance is the responsibility of
supervisors and managers. Besides providing a basis for pay, promotion, and disciplinary action, performance
appraisal information is essential for employee development since knowledge of results (feedback) is necessary to
motivate and guide performance improvements.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE OF HAL


WORK FLOW MODEL

STEP 1

22
Customer places an order to HAL head office for building or fabricating aircrafts engine, pistons and jet engine
trainers, commercial aircrafts, helicopter.
STEP 2
HAL allocates the funds on the basis of the nature of the nature of the order to the respective division.
STEP 3
As per the guidelines of the management each division is required to perform the mandatory budgeting exercise and
present to the head office, the details of the proposed expenditure to process the customer order.
STEP 4
If it is deemed acceptable to the customer, the customer enters into an agreement with HAL and a contract is signed
which specifies the time period of actual delivery of the product and funding structure.
STEP 5
The initial advances are allocated to respective divisions and project gets completed up to the amount that has been
funded by the customer and the process continues till the project is complete. Here the project gets completed part-by-
part basis and finally the finished product is assembled before being sold to customer.
FINANCE
Finance refers to fund or capital or money which acts as an instrument for doing something. It is a field that deals with
the study of investments. It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different
degrees of uncertainty and risk. Finance can also be defined as the science of money management. Finance aims to
price assets based on their risk level and their expected rate of return. Finance can be broken into three different sub-
categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.
Personal finance may also involve paying for a loan or debt obligations. The six key areas of personal financial
planning, as suggested by the financial planning standards board, are:
1. Financial planning
2. Adequate protection
3. Tax planning
4. Investment and accumulation goals
5. Retirement planning
6. Estate planning

Corporate finance deals with the sources of funding and the capital structure of corporations, the actions that managers
take to increase the value of the firm to the shareholders, and the tools and analysis used to allocate financial
resources. The main concepts in the study of corporate finance are applicable to the financial problems of all kinds of
firms. Corporate finance generally involves balancing risk and profitability, while attempting to maximize an entity’s
assets, net incoming cash flow and the value of its stock, and generically entails three primary areas of capital resource
allocation:
1. Capital budgeting
2. Sources of capital
3. Dividend policy
What, how Corporate finance also includes within its scope business valuation, stock investing, or investment
management. An investment is an acquisition of an asset in the hope that will maintain or increase its value over time
23
that will in hope give back a higher rate of return when it comes to disbursing dividends. In investment management –
in choosing a portfolio – one has to use financial analysis to determine much and when to invest.
Public finance describes finance as related to sovereign states and sub – national entities (states/provinces, counties
and municipalities) and related public entities (e.g. school districts) or agencies. It usually encompasses a long-term,
strategic perspective regarding investment decisions that affect public entities. These long-term, strategic periods
usually encompasses five or more years. Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve System banks in the United States
and Bank of England in the United Kingdom, are strong players in public finance, acting as lenders of last resort as
well as strong influences on monetary and credit conditions in the economy.
Financial management refers to the efficient and effective management of money (funds) in such a manner as to
accomplish the objectives of the organization. It is the specialized function directly associated with the top
management. The significance of this function is not seen in the ‘line’ but also in the capacity of ‘staff’ in overall of a
company. It has been defined differently by different experts in the field. The term typically applies to an organization
or company’s financial strategy. It includes how to raise the capital and how to allocate capital, i.e. capital budgeting.
Not only for long term budgeting, but also how to allocate the short term resources like current liabilities. It also deals
with the dividend policies of the shareholders. Businesses make forecast on funds needed in both short run and long
run, hence, they can improve the efficiency of funding. The estimation is based on the budget e.g. sales budget,
production budget.
Capital structure is how a firm finances its overall operations and growth by using different sources of funds. Once the
requirement of funds has estimated, the financial manager should decide the mix of debt and equity and also types of
debt. A good investment plan can bring businesses huge returns.

The amalgamation of Hindustan Aircraft Limited with Aeronautics India Limited on 1st October 1964 was a significant strategic move to conserve resources and streamline activities in the aeronautical sector. This merger resulted in the formation of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and unified the design, development, manufacture, repair, and overhaul of aircraft, helicopters, engines, and related systems under one entity. This consolidation allowed more efficient and economical coordination of technical talent, production facilities, and aviation resources in India, propelling the growth of the indigenous aviation industry .

The establishment of divisions for the production of MiG-21 and Jaguar aircraft significantly enhanced HAL's manufacturing capacity and specialization in fighter aircraft. By setting up dedicated factories, such as those in Nasik and Hyderabad, HAL expanded its infrastructure and technical expertise in producing complex fighter aircraft under licensing agreements. This focus on specialization allowed HAL to refine its production processes, improve efficiency, and build a robust supply chain for military-grade aircraft, setting a strong foundation for future indigenous fighter programs .

HAL follows a structured workflow model which begins with customer orders and extends through funds allocation, budget exercises, contract agreements, and stage-wise project completion, ensuring transparency and accountability. Financial management at HAL involves scrutiny and financial concurrence for capital and revenue expenditures, purchasing, and contracts while maintaining a sound financial strategy. The finance section focuses on capital budgeting, resource allocation, and managing the mixture of debt and equity to support operations and growth .

International collaborations have played a crucial role in the development of HAL's product portfolio. HAL entered into multiple licensing agreements with foreign companies, such as with the USSR for MiG-21 and MiG-27 series, British Aerospace for the Jaguar aircraft, and ties with the UK and France for avionics and equipment. These collaborations allowed HAL to acquire advanced technological insights, enhance production methodologies, and broaden its product offerings including jet fighters and advanced light helicopters, thus strengthening its capacity to support both civil and defense aviation needs .

HAL's comprehensive manufacturing capabilities have significantly boosted India's defense procurement and self-reliance in military aviation. By developing indigenous products like the Advanced Light Helicopter, Light Combat Aircraft 'Tejas', and other aircraft under license production, HAL has reduced dependency on foreign suppliers. Its ability to design, manufacture, and overhaul various aircraft and systems ensures a steady supply of military hardware customized to India's strategic needs, strengthening national defense and contributing to strategic autonomy .

The transition of HAL from a license manufacturing entity to a leader in indigenous aircraft design and development was facilitated by strategic amalgamation and consolidation of resources, fostering technical talent, and expanding infrastructure. Collaboration with international manufacturers provided initial technical knowledge, but HAL’s investment in building design capabilities enabled it to produce indigenous aircraft like the 'Marut' and 'Tejas'. The establishment of dedicated divisions for research, avionics, and accessories also contributed significantly to this transition .

HAL established a separate division in 1970 for the manufacture of 'Chetak' and 'Cheetah' helicopters in Bangalore. This division was developed under a license from SNIAS, France, to support its strategic position in helicopter manufacturing for India's defense needs. Moreover, HAL has engaged in weaponization of the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and is working on the development of the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), which further showcases its commitment to advancing capabilities to meet defense requirements .

Financial and corporate management are critical to HAL's operational success and strategic planning. Key functions include capital budgeting, managing sources of capital, and dividend policy, which ensure adequate funding for R&D and manufacturing operations. Moreover, strategic financial management supports efficient resource allocation, risk management, and profitability maximization, enabling HAL to maintain competitive advantages. The structured budgeting and cost management programs align with corporate goals, ensuring sustained growth and operational efficiency .

HAL plays a significant role in supporting India's space programs, highlighted by the establishment of a dedicated Aerospace division in 1988. This division was set up to meet the growing demands of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and contribute to the space program's requirements. HAL's involvement includes manufacturing components and subsystems required for space applications, signifying its diversification and strategic capability in aerospace beyond traditional defense aviation .

HAL’s pivotal role within the global defense sector is reflected in its continual advancement and strategic positioning. Being ranked 34th among the top 100 defense firms globally in 2007 showcases its substantial contributions to defense technology. The development and manufacturing of a range of aircraft, from the basics to advanced military fighters, illustrate HAL’s capabilities in providing cutting-edge defense solutions, which are essential for both national and international security domains .
