Selected vendor for MRFA project must ensure tech transfer, says IAF

Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari said the procurement of the MRFAs will augment the IAF's fighter strength

The winner of the Indian Air Force’s mega project to procure 114 Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) will have to ensure the transfer of technology as it would be implemented under the framework of the ‘Make-in-India’ initiative, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari has said. He said the procurement of the MRFAs will augment the IAF’s fighter strength and enable it to induct the advanced technologies that the force “urgently desires” to execute its operational plans more effectively.
