Private sector to drive India's Avro replacement

摘要

India's Avro programme to replace obsolete Hindustan Aeronautics-built HS 748 transports will be handled by the nation's private sector. Taken during a Defence Acquisition Council meeting led by defence minister Arun Jaitley, the decision means state-owned airframer HAL will have no role to play in the estimated $2.2 billion deal.
