If that really as the idea then why did the UPA govt. never took a decision to support this ? 10 years was not long enough ?
Please don't embarrass yourself buddy with such nonsense, because it just shows your lack of knowledge! The initial LUH order included licence production in India too, just that it was aimed to be done by HAL. The new government kept the licence production in India requirement, but took HAL outside of the deal and provides it now to the privat industry. That's the same policy, with the only difference that another Indian company will produce them in India.
Why did it take a Modi govt. to scrape the light utility helicopters tender ?
Because these were ongoing tenders, which as said only needed a final selection of the winner now and the forces would get the aircrafts they need soon. While they did started the same policy for new tenders like the FICV, newly started howitzer and the Avro replacement tender that the former MoD provided to the privat industry.
Only because the NDA re-names the older policy, scraps running tenders with delays and cost inceases, doesn't make it a new policy and surely not a good thing for our forces!
