Boeing today announced signing a 10-year, $1 billion deal with Hindustan Aeronautics to shift technology development and manufacturing operations to India.
Raytheon announced a similar-but-less-specific plan and signed a partnership agreement with Tata about a year ago, and generally "looks forward to expanding its relationship with India".
Lockheed Martin apparently has been in India the longest, thanks to inheriting Martin Marietta's office in New Dehli after the merger in 1994. It started greatly expanding in 2005, and "within the span of one year ... established its brand in Indian military circles".
Northrop Grumman beefed up its New Dehli office about a month ago, and wants to sell India airborne surveillance equipment, fire control radars, infrared countermeasures and targeting sensors.
