Lockheed Martin Signs Deal With Tata Group To Produce C-130J In India

India and the US have entered a “teaming agreement” to expand the production and maintenance of C-130J Super Hercules tactical airlifters in India. According to SIPRI, India is the world’s largest importer of weapons. India heavily depends on imported weapons to maintain its armed forces. After designing and producing weapons systems indigenously, the second-best option for India is to produce them locally under license to increase self-sufficiency.
