@harishvbn6334 what makes you think Boeing would do so?

@harishvbn6334 But as the report says, Airbus is not building an assembly line for commercial jets…

@harishvbn6334 Modi cannot force Airbus lol. You overestimate his power. Modi can try to entice them with tax cuts and fast track bureaucracy. Airbus will built a plant when it suits them. And right now it does not. They can't unilaterally increase production and if they can they will do it where they already have the existing infrastructure for them. India for them is not a good investment right now. And Indian airlines are private companies. Modi has no power to force them to decide their fleet policies. Military is something else. It's typical for production of military goods to be transferred to the buyer. Happened with the F16 a lot. And where else would India buy? Boeing? Got their hands full with their crisis right now. Embraer doesn't built the same stuff, Russia can't even built planes in Russia and China is learning atm.

@harishvbn6334 I am German. Apple decided to move some production of their components to India but way more money is invested elsewhere. Indian private companies have ordered the aircraft, not the Indian government. The Indian government cannot order anyone. 1000 planes is the production of around 1,5 years. China, a country with vastly more resources and talent, has so far struggled with jet liners.
