HAL LCH is a light combat helicopter which is developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) INDIGENOUSLY .It is primarily being developed for INDIAN ARMY AND INDIAN AIR FORCE.

During KARGIL WAR the INDIAN ARMY realised that the combat helicopters which it was operating were not suitable for operating at such high altitudes .Russian made attack helicopters like MI-35 etc were not capable of flying at suck altitudes and hence they could not be used .So to provide ground assistance to soldiers and destroy the enemy occupied bunkers army planned to use MI-17 helicopter equipped with basic weapons but as it is not as agile and good as a dedicated attack helicopter it was shot down.
If army had a dedicated attack helicopter during KARGIL it could have easily destroyed enemy held positions and the loss of INDIAN SOLDIERS could have been minimized so keeping this in mind army started LCH(LIGHT COMBAT HELICOPTER) project for development of a light ,agile and a dedicated attack helicopter which can operate at such high altitudes in which other helicopters can not even fly .
