HAL holds the licence to locally produce the Dornier Do 228. It has produced 125 aircraft, since 1983, supplying the Indian Armed Forces and also exporting the aircraft to Indian Ocean nations of Seychelles and Mauritius. The aircraft would be manufactured at HAL's Kanpur and Lucknow facilities. In 2006, indigenous content in the aircraft stood at 61 per cent.
The Dornier Do 228 was designed and developed by Dornier GmbH in the late 1970s. The aircraft cockpit allows for a two-person operation, and can carry 19 passengers in the commuter configuration. Maritime surveillance and patrol variants of the Do 228 have been modified by HAL to cater for a host of equipment demanded by the navy including surveillance radar, FLIR (forward looking infrared), ESM (electronic support measures), satellite communications, data links, speech secrecy equipment, TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) and EGPWS (enhanced ground proximity warning system), among others.
