Boeing Expects India's P-8I Order To Grow
:shocked:...SEATTLE — Boeing expects India's P-8I order to increase to as many as 30 units, citing the Indian navy and coast guard's interest in multimission aircraft.
Under a $2 billion contract signed in 2009, Boeing will deliver eight of the long-range maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft to India starting in the first half of 2013, with an option for four more. India has been the first international customer for the P-8I, which is a variant of the U.S. Navy's P-8A Poseidon.
