The MoU was signed by HAL chairman Ashok K Baweja and Bell Helicopter CEO Michael 'Red' Redenbaugh.

"This partnership would provide long-term growth opportunities for HAL," Baweja said, adding, that HAL was looking forward to take on new challenges in all contemporary helicopter programmes.

"Bell Helicopter appreciates this opportunity to explore additional manufacturing projects with HAL. We have had a relationship with HAL for sometime and currently they are producing tail rotor blades for our 206 aircraft," said Redenbaugh.
