Sweden's Saab bullish on India

Bengaluru: At Aero India 2015, Saab plans to display an array of products across the land, air, naval and civil domains to stake its claim as a reliable defence partner.

Swedish aerospace and defence major Saab Group is hopeful to make the most of this year’s edition of the biennial Aero India.

According to Saab India Country Head Lars-Olof Lindgren, “Aero India 2015 is a huge platform for Saab and marks Saab’s fifth presence at the show. At this year’s event, we look forward to connecting with Indian defence forces, homeland security forces, defence research establishments, defence public sector units and the private sector. We believe that it is an exciting place for some very interesting discussions to get rolling, and to put focus on state-of-the-art military technologies and products under one roof.”

Saab’s JAS 39 Gripen was a contender to win the $13- billion Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal to supply 126 aircraft to the Indian Air Force. At Aero India 2015, Saab plans to display an array of products across the Land, Air, Naval and Civil domains in Hall C, at the Yelahanka Air Force Station, Bengaluru.
