Tata, Lockheed Martin Agree on India F-16 Production
The agreement will allow India “to produce, operate and export F-16 Block 70” models.

Lockheed Martin and Tata Advanced Systems are forming a production partnership to potentially manufacture the F-16 Block 70 in India for the Indian air force. Ratan Tata, former chairman Tata Sons and Tata companies, and Orlando Carvalho, executive v-p of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, signed the agreement at the Paris Air Show on June 19. India is defining the requirements for a new single-engine fighter, and the F-16 will likely be in competition with the Saab Gripen E to meet them.
