India is looking to order 106 more Swiss Pilatus PC-7 basic trainer aircraft (BTA). The worth of the deal is around Rs. 7000 crores. The Defence Acquisitions Council (DAC) has yet to consider the case and decide upon the option, whether to buy 38 Pilatus off-the-shelf, with the rest 68 being produced in India or importing only 10 BTA, with 96 being made in India.
