“The agreement with India is the result of long work with our Indian partners. This is the first Russian-Indian high-tech project, implemented by the Indian government within the framework of the “Make in India” program. The organization for the manufacture of helicopters is provided by the creation of a Russian-Indian joint venture in India, which includes holdings of Rostec – JSC “Rosoboronexport” and “Russian Helicopters”, and on the India side – the corporation “HAL”, said CEO of the Rostec, Sergei Chemezov.
