  • This is the first project of its kind in which a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. 
  • All fifty six aircraft will be installed with indigenous Electronic Warfare Suite. 
  • The project will give a boost to the aerospace ecosystem in India wherein several MSMEs spread over the country will be involved in manufacturing of parts of the aircraft.
