Great performance. As a shareholder, I'm very pleased with the Rs 35 dividend. It's a reliable PSU. However, I hope they reinvest a significant portion of these profits into R&D for next-gen aircraft like the AMCA. We need to stay ahead.

Solid numbers! Revenue growth of 10%+ and profit growth of nearly 30% means they are managing costs brilliantly. This bodes well for the Tejas Mk1A deliveries and future projects. A strong HAL means a stronger India.

Impressive results. The consistent dividend history is a sign of a well-managed company. It's encouraging to see a defence PSU performing so robustly in the global market. Kudos to the HAL team.

While the profit jump is commendable, I have a respectful critique. The dividend yield is still below 1%. For long-term retail investors, greater capital appreciation or higher yield would be more beneficial than such a large interim dividend. Just my two paise.

This is the result of massive defence orders from the government. HAL is the backbone of our air force. Every rupee of profit here strengthens our borders. More power to them! 🛫
