Sergei Chemezov, the head of Russia's Rostec corporation, said that Moscow and New Delhi have shaken hands on production of some 200 Ka-226 helicopters for India.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia will supply India with 200 Ka-226 helicopters under a contract worth over $1 billion, the head of Russia's Rostec corporation said Thursday.

"We have signed a contract with India for joint production of Ka-226 helicopters," Sergei Chemezov said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Forty helicopters will be ready for delivery, while [remaining] 160 will be built under license in India," Chemezov added.
