HAL Clarifies on Social Media Posts Regarding Hiring of PwC

A few posts on social media (X) have falsely stated that HAL has finalized the selection of a consultancy firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to benchmark its R&D activities.

HAL would like to state that no firm has been finalized yet for the benchmarking of its R&D processes. HAL had issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for engaging a consultancy firm to conduct a benchmarking study of its R&D framework against global Aerospace and Defence companies.
