HAL was capable of making Rafale jets, says its Chairman
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Chairman R Madhavan said HAL was capable of producing Rafale jets when initial talks were held but the government bought 36 aircraft separately for "quick delivery". He added, "If like earlier, 126 aircraft were to be made, some would've been made here and others would've been bought." There's "no question" of HAL making them anymore, he added.
