HAL and Russia’s UAC to build SJ-100 planes in India, marking first domestic commercial aircraft production since 1988.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on October 27, 2025, in Moscow to produce the SJ-100 twin-engine, narrow-body passenger aircraft in India for the first time.
The move marks the first domestic manufacturing of a complete commercial passenger aircraft in India since 1988, supporting the government’s UDAN scheme to improve regional air connectivity.
The project aims to boost local industry, create jobs, and advance India’s 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' goals.
Industry projections indicate a need for over 200 such aircraft in the next decade for domestic routes and an additional 350 for Indian Ocean and international tourism corridors.
