  • This news article reports on the grounding of the indigenous Dhruv advanced light helicopter by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. (HAL) following a recent crash.   

Key takeaways:

  • HAL has advised civilian operators to ground their Dhruv helicopters until the cause of the recent crash in Porbandar is determined.   

  • The helicopter involved in the accident reportedly did not respond to pilot control inputs in the final seconds before the crash.   

  • This is the third Dhruv crash in the past two years, raising concerns about the helicopter's safety record.

  • The HAL Dhruv is a utility helicopter designed and developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in November 1984

  • The helicopter first flew in 1992; its development was prolonged due to multiple factors including the Indian Army's requirement for design changes, budget restrictions, and sanctions placed on India following the 1998 Pokhran-II nuclear tests

  • The name comes from a Sanskrit origin word dhruv which means unshakeable or firm

  • Dhruv entered service in 2002

  • It is designed to meet the requirement of both military and civil operators, with military variants of the helicopter being developed for the Indian Armed Forces, while a variant for civilian/commercial use has also been developed. 

  • Military versions in production include transport, utility, reconnaissance and medical evacuation variants.

  • As of January 2024, more than 400 Dhruvs had been produced for domestic and export markets logging more than 340,000 flying hours
