He noted that a cooperation agreement has already been signed between the United Aircraft Corporation of Russia and the Indian company HAL. The document formalizes the parties’ intention to integrate technologies and organize production processes.

“For Rostec, participation in the civil aviation sector is an important new stage. We are now actively negotiating the launch of joint production of Superjet and Il-114 aircraft,” Chemezov said in an interview with Izvestia correspondent Nikolai Ivanov.

Additional sources confirm that the project aims to strengthen bilateral technological cooperation and expand the presence of Russian aircraft in international markets. The Indian side has shown interest in using Russian innovations to modernize its aircraft fleet and create new jobs.

Thus, cooperation between Russia and India in civil aviation is reaching a new level, implementing plans for the integrated development of light and medium aircraft manufacturing for regional routes.
