A Joint Venture will be formed between HAL and the Russian Partners, namely United Aircraft Corporation & Rosoboronexport to co-develop and co-produce Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA).
MTA is a 15-20 tonne payload capacity Aircraft which would meet the requirement of the IAF and the Russian Air Force. The project has been approved by both the Government of India and the Government of Russian Federation.
The main features of MTA are: Maximum take-off weight 65 tonne, Payload Capacity 15-20 tonne, Cruise Speed 800 kmph, Range 2500-2700 km, Service Ceiling 12 km. The Aircraft will have two engines, state-of-the-art features such as fly-by-wire, full authority digital engine control, modern avionics and glass cockpit.
The total development cost is around US $ 600.70 million (approx Rs.2900 crore) to be equally shared by both the sides. It is planned to manufacture 205 ac with 50:50 work share between HAL and the Russian partners.
The JVC will be established with its HQ in Bangalore, India for executing the MTA project in which HAL and Russian participants will have equal shareholding.
