MoD in a shock after HAL seeks Rs 463cr per LCA jet, more than Su-30 MKI

Could the high price be because of low numbers to be produced? I mean, once you spread the cost of development and integration over 300-500 Jets, the price per Jet itself comes down dramatically. On the other hand, if you are only producing 100-150 Jets then the price has to absorb cost of development and integration etc. which may give an impression of higher cost.

what about it's export potential?

We don't have the capability to mass produce them. Just to fill our own orders will take a decade. When we acquire those capabilities then you can talk about export potential.

Price would be a killer though.
