Rostec State Corporation is presenting its latest developments in aircraft technology, air defense and radio-electronic warfare at “Aero India 2017” taking place in Bangalore, India, from 14th to 18th February.

Rostec holding companies (Russian Helicopters, Technodinamika, UEC, Tecmash and Shvabe) are participating in the 900 square meters Russian exhibition and intend to conduct negotiations with strategic partners in the framework of executing current and negotiating new contracts, as well as proposals for new projects under the “Make in India” program.

At Aero India 2017 Executives of Rostec State Corporation delegation are to hold negotiations with representatives of the Indian government, Heads of India’s Ministry of Defense and IAF, as well as HAL, Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Forge among others.

The joint Rostec and Rosoboronexport delegation is headed by the Director of International Cooperation and Regional Policy Viktor Kladov.

Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov (photo) said: “Aero India 2017 is an important event for India’s and regional aviation market. India has for many years been a strategic partner of Russia and Rostec. Our two nations have successfully worked on multiple projects bringing Russian technology to India and producing state-of-the-art military equipment locally, most notably Su-30MKI fighter jets, T-90S tanks and the Brahmos missile.”

“Now the Modi government adopted the “Make in India” course aimed at localization of production of military products in India and it involves creation of joint ventures and deep transfer of technology. In the framework of this program we have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture for the production of Ka-226T in October 2016 at the BRICS summit. Now there is active implementation of this project. We are also working on the expansion of cooperation in various fields in accordance with “Make in India” - in the traditional sphere of military-technical cooperation and in non-military areas such as electronics, biotechnology and composite materials,” he added.

This year, Russian Helicopters’ key exhibit in India is the Ka-226T model.  In 2016 Russian Helicopters, Rosoboronexport and HAL Corporation created a joint venture to localize production of the light, multirole Ka-226Ts and to deliver them to the Indian market.

In addition, visitors are shown a multi-purpose Mi-38 in the passenger version.  The Mi-38 is one of the most highly automated civil helicopters in the world. A presentation of the light multirole Ansat helicopter is also scheduled.

Meanwhile, Technodinamika is participating at Aero India 2017 for the first time. Technodinamika is enlarging its scope of facilities jointly with India Aerospace players for manufacture of aircraft spares and components under PM’s initiative of Make in India program. The company is successfully supplying to IAF different aggregates and spares for AN-32, IL-Series and has successfully executed most contracts much before the delivery period including the ROH for 11 TA-12 APUs for IL-76 in record time.

Technodinamika has opened a representative office in India to cater to the needs of its partners and expand under Make in India program. A facility has now been set up at a Moscow airport to cater to the needs of customers to deliver spares within 72 hours worldwide.
