Self-reliance powering national defence
In a significant step towards strengthening indigenous defence capability and operational readiness in the Eastern Theatre, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Gajraj Corps, interacted with PB Rangarao, CEO, Helicopter Complex — Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
The interaction focused on enhancing the serviceability of Army helicopters and strengthening Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) support to ensure higher operational availability and responsiveness. Subsequently, the GOC, Blazing Sword Division, along with PB Rangarao, unveiled the foundation stone of HAL’s MRO Hub at Missamari, Assam.
The upcoming facility will significantly augment repair turnaround times, streamline logistics support, and provide sustained MRO support to Army Aviation and the Indian Air Force, thereby enhancing combat readiness in the region.
The establishment of the MRO Hub marks a major milestone in bolstering indigenous aerospace support infrastructure and reinforces the Government of India’s vision of #AtmanirbharBharat. This initiative underscores the Indian Army’s commitment to self-reliance, operational excellence, and long-term capability development in partnership with India’s defence public sector industry.
