Mahindra in race for airliner project: Russia

Chennai: Russian Minister for Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said here on Thursday that the aerospace unit of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. is being considered to manufacture of parts for the Russian airliner, Irkut MC-21, in India.

“Currently, we are working on another civil aviation project apart from the Sukhoi Superjet [100]. This is the MC-21, which is scheduled to have its first flight soon.
