Lockheed Martin is proposing its C-130J Super Hercules for an Indian Air Force deal of up to 80 transport planes. The company highlights the aircraft's proven performance, versatility, and existing use by the IAF and other Quad nations. If selected, Lockheed Martin plans to establish a global production hub in India for the C-130J, with components already being manufactured in Hyderabad. This move could significantly bolster India's tactical airlift capabilities.
