Jaguar bombers to be produced in India New Delhi 19 OCTOBER THE upgraded version of the multi-role Jaguar deep-penetration strike aircraft will now be produced in India jointly by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and British Aaerospace (BAE). This will be done under a recently signed contract between the two companies to co-produce the first batch of 17 such aircraft, sources said. While aero-engines and certain avionic items would be imported from Britain, the aircraft, to cost about œ8m a piece, would be fully assembled at the HAL aircraft complex in Bangalore, the sources said hinting at certain changes in the size and shape of the upgraded jet. The Indian Air Force can now look for the upgraded version of the aircraft which were so far being directly delivered to India by Britain. HAL has already been producing the older generation Jaguars under license from British Airways, but under the new contract, it would manufacture the state-of-the-art upgraded versions which would have advanced avionics and several other features to add to its punch. ?PTI
