| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Just over a year ago in July 2013, the High Level Committee on Manufacturing (HLCM) headed by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh gave the go-ahead for the manufacture of a civil aircraft in India. The decision was taken with the view that this was "a strategic sector where there was a need to have a presence in the long term, particularly in view of the rapid growth of the aviation sector." As a result "the HLCM took a major strategic decision for the development of a civilian aircraft, of a 70-100 seater range to begin with, in India." |
