Which of the following cities does not have a unit of HAL ?
- a.Kolkata
- b.Koraput
- c.Nasik
- d.Bangalore
Answer: (A) Kolkata
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has no production unit in Kolkata city itself, so it is the answer here; its nearest unit is the Barrackpore Division in North 24 Parganas, which overhauls Cheetah and Chetak helicopters. Koraput in Odisha has HAL's Engine Division, which makes aero-engines for MiG and Sukhoi aircraft. Nashik has HAL's Aircraft Manufacturing Division, where the Su-30 MKI is assembled. Bengaluru is HAL's headquarters and has its helicopter and aircraft divisions.
