As India's biggest defence contract of $ 10 billion to acquire 126 (MMRCA) nears final stages, the lone Swedish contender
is optimistic of making it to the downlist.
Expressing optimism, SAAB executives said that their India campaign was enthusing them to enter the
lucrative fighter market in the Asian region where many other nations are planning major acquisitions.
The Swedish company executives are hopeful that the Indian Government would shortlist the competitors by December to bring the number of contenders from six to two or three.
The Gripen is in contention with American F-16 and F-18/A Super Hornets, French Rafale, Russian MiG 35 and Eurofighter Typhoon.
The company executives claimed that the Gripen had come through well in Indian flight trials held at Leh and Jaisalmer.
