What is the name of the first indigenously developed Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) inducted into the Indian Air Force ?
None of the above
The first indigenously developed Light Combat Helicopter inducted into the Indian Air Force is named Prachand, and that name is absent from the four options, so none of them can be correct.
Prachand was built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and formally inducted at Jodhpur in October 2022. It is designed for high-altitude operations, being able to take off and land at forward posts above five thousand metres, which is what makes it suited to the Siachen and Ladakh sectors.
The other names belong to different aircraft. Dhruv is HAL's Advanced Light Helicopter, a utility platform; Rudra is the armed weapon-system-integrated version of Dhruv; Cheetah is a licence-built light utility helicopter of French design; and Tejas is a fighter aircraft, not a helicopter at all.
Since Prachand is not listed, the answer is None of the above.
