They've already received partial EASA certification from the EU designated body which is mandatory from the safety PoV, Insurance as well as for making a sale. If HAL wasn't interested in going international they wouldn't have made this move for it's a pretty expensive exercise.
No clue if HAL has approached EASA for a full certification & the procedures as well as time taken for it. They should've applied for similar certification from the FAA in the US. Once again there's no news on this
The services won't opt for it even if they can. Apart from everything else it doesn't meet their specifications. Rest assured, GoI won't permit it & herein lies the dichotomy of the approach.
OTOH it wants indigenisation & OTOH it wants to blindly promote MII without taking into consideration the ill effects this move would have on our own domestic product in the civilian aerospace market.
Hell this same Airbus ignored GoI's requests for setting up a FAL like they did in China for their passenger jet liners here for it didn't suit them . Why're we then encouraging such efforts by them when it doesn't suit us?
That's what all these companies do in the initial stages. Once they acquire the desired market share which it will, they gradually move in for local production of other components & sub assemblies.

good, finally some Bharatiya company showing some bollocks and stealing back from the west . Something chinka is doing from a loooong time, and something we should be doing in spades instead of proudly chest thumping "we follow IP laws and rules based order". After stealing everything under the sun from us its a bit rich that we should follow their IP laws LoL.
