If past performance is any indication, then it could be quite looooooong.Sorry ... but how long will this development take?

I think a Private joint venture for developing a MTA with collaboration either Brazil's KC-390 vs Japan's Kawasaki C-2 will be very much on cards of GoI in line with C-295.
Who knows TATA might produce KC-390 or Kawasaki C-2 - finger crossedBut again ... how long will this take!?
If you look at past experience in similar tenders, then it takes already aeons to make a decision, then even more time to work out the deal, then a decision is made and soon thereafter legally questioned ... then a court decides and most often all starts again from point zero!
As such, purchasing a "ready" product might be an option ... to negotiate with a tender for local development and manufacturing will need much more time and an indigenous logal development is IMO plain impossible, at least if the IAF wants to get a type before 2074!

Lol! Kind of cheeky to say you don't have any love for us while on a Pakistani forum...They have just started the process. It would be great if it is inducted in next decade or so. Indian military procurement process is highly bureaucratic and archaic.
I wish it was half as efficient as Pakistan. I don’t have any love for them but it is a fact.

Just working with Embraer on the KC-390 is the better option - not just because of the similarities in performance requirements but the ability to have conversions to KC-390 types would give the IAF an even bigger refueling fleet. Couple that with adding refueling probes to the Chinooks and perhaps a purchase for of more SF focused Blackhawk types and a rather large prestige op to act on the repeated claims of Dawood being in Pakistan could be done.
