Eurofighter consortium seeks to reinforce relationship with India
The Eurofighter consortium is seeking to reinforce its relationship with India in a move to win a $10 billion deal to supply 126 Typhoon Eurofighter aircraft to the country's armed forces, Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore said, citing consortium officials. The newspaper cited Bernhard Gerwert, CEO of EADS unit Military Air Systems, as saying 'as part of our cooperation offer, we invite India to enter the Eurofighter family'. 'We are interested in creating a long-term relationship at political, industrial and military level,' he said.
Andrea Nappi, deputy chairman of Alenia Aeronautica, said if the consortium wins the contract it will build the first 18 planes in Europe and the rest will be manufactured under licence in India as stipulated by the local government, according to the daily.
