India Nears Decision on New Military Transport Aircraft After Technical Evaluations
India's defence ministry is close to finalising its selection process for a new military transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force. Technical evaluations of proposals from three foreign vendors — Airbus's A400M, Lockheed Martin's C-130J, and Embraer's C-390 — have been completed. The programme is intended to replace ageing aircraft and strengthen the Air Force's tactical airlift capacity. A formal request for proposals is expected to be issued to shortlisted vendors shortly. The initiative places emphasis on indigenous manufacturing and technology transfer in line with India's self-reliance goals.
