New Delhi: With the deal for procuring VVIP choppers from AgustaWestland facing the prospect of being scrapped, DRDO on Wednesday said it has the capability to manufacture such helicopters even though he contended that producing anything entirely indigenously was impractical.
"We have capability to manufacture any system. We are manufacturing LCH (Light Compact Helicopter). We have already manufactured ALH (Advanced Light Helicopter) and our own aircraft," DRDO Chief VK Saraswat told a news agency.
"There is no dearth of capability and capacity of manufacturing any advanced technology system," he said.
Saraswat was asked on the sidelines of a seminar here whether DRDO is capable of manufacturing choppers such as AgustaWestland AW-1O1.
