I am not sure. May be or may be not. Difficult to say as of now.
But trust me after 2020, We won't even think of adding such strategic bomber. I can understand your reason why you want to have such bomber. But trust me, It's not needed. Pakistan is very near to our border (500KM). May be we can buy 1-2 squadron of Tupolev series. That's it. Once 800-1,000 modern fighter Jets will be included, It will complete our requirement. We will have thousand of Tactical BM which will support IAF too. Those who are sitting in R.K.Puram has few of the best brain in India. So, Relax!!

we could always reverse engineer AMCA to become a heavy strategic bomber like the FB-22 is derived from the F-22
having a strategic bomber means you have an asset that can destroy an enemies war making capability, adding on the amount of ordinance whether it be JDAMs stand off weapons, LGBs, dumb bombs, etc strategic bombers can carry is just crazy stealth bombers would be a good asset for us in case another 26/11 happens where we would need to conduct surgical strikes but the risk of losing pilots or aircraft to enemy fire is reduced
but then again tactical bombing can still wipe out enemy terror camps maybe even destroy missile bases but strategic bombers are the ones that deliver the real punch
a JV with Israel is always there
