I don't know if our our army doctrine calls for heavy-lift CH-47 Chinook copters but if the Greeks can afford a few refurbished ones (probably UK version) then why not us?
By the way the Indian Army ordered 22 Apache choppers and 15 Chinook copters in 2015, almost time that they got them.

After what US is currently doing with Turkey, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Philippines because of Russian arms i don't think it's a good idea. We may buy these from UK but don't we have to rely on US for spare parts?? And another thing is we don't have enough medium helicopter like Mi-17 yet. India's case is different i guess, they are already shifting towards US and can afford huge amounts of western platform. We don't have that luxury yet.
