Formation of HCl in its electronic ground state through radiative association is studied. We ignore spin-orbit couplings and then the formation can happen through two dipole-allowed reactions, one involving an electronic transition and one where the H and Cl atoms approach and remain in the ground electronic molecular state. The radiative association rate constant is computed, through a combination of classical and quantum methods, for use in modelling of interstellar chemistry
