NEW DELHI - India has won an export order to supply seven homemade Advanced Light Helicopters, the Dhruv, to the Ecuadorian Air Force.
The Indian Defence Ministry's June 26 news release said that Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) "has bagged this order amidst strong competition from Elbit of Israel, Eurocopter of France and Kazan of Russia. HAL's offer of $50.7 million for 7 helicopters was about 32% lower than the second lowest bid from Elbit."
The contract is likely to be signed within a few weeks, and the first helicopter would be delivered by HAL in six months, a Defence Ministry official said.
HAL has already supplied 76 helicopters to the Indian defense services and has an order to supply 159 more to the Army and Air Force.
Other countries have inquired about the Dhruv, the Defence Ministry official said.
However, early this year, Chile rejected the Dhruv in favor of Bell Helicopter's Bell-412. The Chilean Air Force bought 12 light transport helicopters from Bell Helicopter for more than $120 million.
HAL has already sold two Dhruvs to Nepal and has dispatched one for the use of the Israeli Air Force. Designed and developed by HAL, the Dhruv is a multirole, cost-effective helicopter in the 4- to 5-ton class for civilian and military use.
