Def Min clears Rs 12,000 cr proposal for 56 aircraft

The first 16 aircraft will be procured off-the-shelf from foreign vendors who will have to partner with a local private or public sector firm, they said.

The next 16 aircraft will have to have 30 per cent indigenous component while the remaining 24 planes will have 60 per cent locally-procured and produced items.

Asked why the state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was not be involved in the project , they said the PSU was already burdened with projects such as the SU-30MKI production and upgrades of IAF aircraft fleet including the Mirage, MiG 29 and Jaguar aircraft.

The IAF fleet of Avro aircraft was inducted from the 1960s and are used for transporting men and material. The aircraft can carry loads of upto 7-8 tonnes.

C-27J or C-295

Somethings fishy as why only cargo aircrafts are getting cleared easily whereas even basic artillery or gun not bought quickly

Because these will be used as taxies for VIPs.

Do you remember how quickly the file for Helicopters for VVIPs was cleared, while the tender for a Mid Air Refueller was shot down.

These are relatively easier deals to close, eitherway C-27J seems like the ideal aircraft for this. More payload, range and volume.
