Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will showcase its civil portfolio, including the Super Jet (SJ) 100 regional aircraft, at Wings India 2026, scheduled to be held at Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad, from January 28 to 31.
HAL said that the centrepiece of its participation will be the H-228 commuter aircraft, the Dhruv New Generation (NG) helicopter, and the Super Jet 100 regional aircraft, which will make its formal debut during the show.
Steady expansion
“HAL is steadily expanding its civil aviation footprint, and the showcase of Dhruv NG, H-228, and the SJ-100 trinity at Wings India reflects our focused thrust in strengthening regional connectivity, civil utility operations, and future-ready aircraft programmes, while reinforcing India’s journey towards self-reliance in civil aviation,” Dr. D. K. Sunil, CMD, HAL, said.
HAL will be present at Hall A, stall No. 27, during the show. The pavilion will display scaled models of the Dhruv NG, H 228, H 228 Amphibian, SJ 100, LUH Civil, Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), and accessories designed to meet the evolving needs of civil operators.
Static display of Dhruv

HAL is collaborating with United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), Russia, to manufacture the SJ 100 aircraft to strengthen Make in India capabilities. The static display will be complemented by Customer Demonstration Flights of the Dhruv NG and H 228, showcasing the aircraft’s real-world performance, safety, and operational versatility,” the defence PSU said.
