⚡️🇮🇳 India's Defence Ministry issued a tender worth around ₹1 trillion ($11 billion) for 60 multirole transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force, aimed at replacing its ageing cargo fleet. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Tata, and Mahindra are among the Indian companies competing, with officials confirming that Indian firms will lead the programme.

Mahindra Defence has partnered with Brazil's Embraer to offer the C-390, while Tata has teamed with Lockheed Martin to offer the C-130, a plane already serving the Air Force in special operations roles.

About 20 percent of the aircraft will arrive ready to fly, while the remaining planes will be built in India with over 60 percent indigenous content, through joint ventures between Indian companies and the original manufacturer.
