Embraer Defense and Security has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mahindra Defence Systems to pitch the C-390 Millennium tanker/transport for the Indian Air Force’s upcoming medium transport aircraft (MTA) program. 

The announcement follows a C-390 Millennium Day event held by Embraer in New Delhi last August to engage with local industry. Both companies have committed to the Make in India initiative and will now begin discussions with the air force over the next steps in the procurement and develop a plan for industrialization.
