The HAL HTSE-1200 ("Hindustan Turbo Shaft Engine") is a turboshaft engine under development by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). It is aimed at 3.5 ton single engine class and 5-8 ton twin engine class helicopter configurations. India will need 5,000-6,000 helicopters to operate in 2020s.[2] This will be an indigenous design giving engine alternatives for the HAL-developed LUH, ALH and LCH.[3] The first run of engine was conducted in February 2018 when it achieved 76% of the rpm required.

There have been 250 tests of engine since inaugural run. The engine has been "progressing well" to have its first flight test by end of 2019. Directionally Solidified Gas Generator (GG) Turbine blades were also developed for the engine indigenously.[1][4][5]
