Lockheed Martin, the American aerospace and defence major, has proposed to manufacture custom-built F-16 fighter jets in India. The company officials say that it will give Indian industry a unique opportunity to become part of the world’s largest fighter aircraft ecosystem.
“We plan to introduce two new words into the lexicon of international fighter aircraft manufacturing: ‘India’ and ‘exclusive’,” Vivek Lall, vice president, strategy and business development, at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics told PTI in an interview.
