Bengaluru, NFAPost: HAL registers highest-ever revenue from operations of around Rs 26,500 crore (provisional and unaudited) for the financial year 2022-23 as against Rs 24,620 for the previous financial year. The company has recorded a revenue growth of 8% during the year as compared to the previous year, 2021-22.
HAL Chairman and Managing Director C B Ananthakrishnan said despite the challenges of supply chain disruptions due to geo-political situations, the company could achieve the targeted growth in the top line.
“This was possible with the increased thrust on indigenisation and with the available inventory,” said HAL Chairman and Managing Director C B Ananthakrishnan.
He further added that the order book of the company stood at around Rs 82,000 crores at the end of March 2023 after liquidation of the supplies during 2022-23.

In addition, on the ROH front fresh order to the tune of Rs 16,600 Crores was received during the year.
The cash flow of the company has improved substantially with payments of around Rs 25,000 Crores received from the various Defence Customers during FY 2022-23.
During the year, the income tax refund of Rs 1,798 Crores including interest of Rs 542 Crores has been received consequent to the favorable decision of the ITAT. This will clear all the old outstanding tax litigation with the Income tax Department.
Considering the performance, the company has paid an interim dividend of Rs 40 per share during the current financial year representing 400% on the face value of Rs 10 per share. The Company has also paid a final dividend of Rs. 10 per share for the financial year 2021-22.
