International demand rises for India's cost-effective HAL LCH Prachand in global attack helicopter market.

India’s indigenous Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) Prachand is witnessing a surge in international interest as a versatile and affordable alternative in the global attack helicopter market. At least three countries, including Nigeria, Argentina, and the Philippines, are in advanced discussions to procure the Prachand, leveraging its proven high-altitude capabilities and competitive pricing of approximately $45.53 million per unit. Recent contracts for 156 units from the Indian armed forces bolster HAL’s production capabilities and signal reliability to international buyers. The Prachand’s development underscores India’s growing defense export potential, enhancing its strategic position in the global military landscape while reducing dependence on foreign suppliers, thereby positioning India as a key player in defense manufacturing.
