Should India consider producing airlifters with Embraer?

India needed to replace its Avro 748 transport aircraft. Airbus and Tata set up a C295 production plant in India.

India needs to replace its An-32 airlifters. Would it not make sense for Embraer to set up a C-390 production plant in India? C-390 is a modern, competitive product and could sell for many decades. India could handle production and support for Asia.

A successor for C-17 will be sought by the market at some point. If co-operation with Embraer were good, why shouldn't Embraer and a suitable Indian entity look into designing and making one?
