The FGFA development and production is a major project of Russian-Indian military-technical cooperation.
The two sides signed the corresponding agreement in Moscow in October 2007. In December 2010, Russia's Rosoboronexport arms exporter, Sukhoi company and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited signed a contract on the aircraft's front end engineering design development.
Since January 2012, a group of India's specialists has been working in Russia, and Russia's specialists in India. The two sides have established the required information exchange.
FGFA is developed on the basis of the Russian PAK FA fifth-generation fighter project. However, it will differ from the prototype to meet Indian Air Force's specific requirements.

And what about export to third countries ? How much say will India have in the matter and what will be Indian share of the money, if any ?

Secondly, HAL will not be looking to improve upon an airframe that will be largely proven in test flights by the time the Indian PMF prototype takes shape in fabrication facilities. While development work itself may be something of a fait accompli given that the Russians are already testing a full fleet of prototypes, including two ground test aircraft, HAL has been asked not to surrender workshare in the final matrix of cooperatio
