Russian Deputy Trade Minister Alexander Potapov said that Russia offered India to launch production of Ilyushin Il-114-300 regional airliners at India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) facilities.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Russia has made an offer on setting up the production of Ilyushin Il-114-300 regional airliners at India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) facilities, Russian Deputy Trade Minister Alexander Potapov said Tuesday.


Earlier, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry said that Russia agreed to take part in the Make in India program during a meeting of the Russian-Indian working group on industrial cooperation.

"We have always talked about the feasibility and readiness to expand cooperation. This also applies to civil aviation. One such project could be the creation of an Indian regional aircraft. In accordance with a request from the Indian side, we sent our proposals on organizing the production of Il-114-300 aircraft at HAL facilities," Potapov said.

Russia's RT-Chemical technologies and composite materials company (JSC RT-Chemcomposite), part of the Rostec state corporation, is also looking into projects on setting up the production of aircraft glazing as well as polymer composite materials for civil aviation in India, he added.

Il-114-300 is a variant of the Ilyushin Il-114 regional airliner fitted with a Klimov TV7-117SM turboprop engine.

The Il-114 was developed by Ilyushin Design Bureau in the late 1980s for short-haul flights within the Soviet Union. Since then, 20 planes of this type have been manufactured. Mass production of the plane is expected to start in Russia in 2019.

This opportunity would be wonderful for India, provided they mate it with civil aviation to reap its cost effective benefits.
Turboprops are way too economical to operate than jet engines. Fuel consumption rate favors Turboprops 3 to 1 when pitted against the jet engines. Commercial jetliner's main expense is ATF, which comes out to be 40% for each flight operated. Jet engines are gas guzzlers.

The only loss would be to lose on speed factor.

It should be a good choice for domestic travel especially to tier 2 and tier3 cities.

Russians are well come. India is going to be a hub of all high tech manufacturing starting from plane to space shuttle. Who so ever is late in coming to india shall feel left behind. I listened to the interview of Baba kalyani. He told that indian strength is not low cost labor and low cost products but a high tech product produced at a low rate. He said that when we went to Germany in a trade fair and express our willingness to manufacture automobile part, they did everything to us except holding us from collars and push us out. Today Bharat forge makes crank shaft of every second car anywhere in the world. They manufactured light field gun for indian army which used to weigh 4100 kg but bharat forge made it a 900 KG gun. He told that imagine a flexibility of the gun now. It can be carried on light commercial vehicle and transported anywhere by choppers. He quoted similar incident of tank wheels. Russia said that you can not manufacture since you do not have facilities.

in short, we are placed at a stage of quantum jump. That is why all countries want to come to India including china. What we need to do is to manage everything properly and should not allow the anti nationals to sabotage the growth story.

That is an radar testbed version(Il_140M-Agat), you can clearly see the Russian Navy insignia and radar written on it . Passenger version is different from it.
