India is expected to move forward with a long-awaited military transport aircraft procurement programme in the coming months, according to Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer. The company anticipates that New Delhi will soon issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 60 to 80 transport aircraft, with Embraer’s C-390 Millennium among the leading contenders.
Speaking on the sidelines of an international aviation industry gathering in Rio de Janeiro, Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto said the tender process is expected to gain momentum shortly, with a final procurement decision likely by the end of 2027. The aircraft maker views India as a key strategic market and is seeking to expand global sales of the C-390 Millennium.
The C-390 is competing against the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and is being promoted in India through Embraer’s partnership with the Mahindra Group.
