It is not right to critisize HAL as monopoly without knowing aircraft production technologies. Today HAL is capable of building aircraft due to the experience gained over last 8 decades.
It is not easy to build aircraft by private companies within short period of time. Yes, it is agreed that private companies have to be established for building aircraft and at the same time it is not easy to expect results immediately
It will be a long journey to come to the stage of present HAL ‘s capabilities.
Author’s personal opinion on building AMCA is not in right perspective. Wish that private players to build AMCA without HAL to assess their performance.
