India to invest over $300 million in Su-30MKI spare parts supply centre

Issue No. 17 | September 1-15, 2016

India is planning to invest more than Rs. 20 billion ($300 million) in setting up a spare parts supply centre for the Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jet with the help of Russia, according to a news agency report.

The report says the spare parts supply centre is planned to be set up on the premises of the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

The agreement is likely to be signed at a regular Russian-Indian summit that will take place in October 2016 in India.

India expects the agreement to guarantee that the aircraft will be able to perform more sorties and reduce the time needed to provide maintenance for them. The new centre will order, deliver and distribute all spare parts required to maintain the technical condition of Russian-made fighter jets at a high level.
