EADS subsidiary Eurocopter has withdrawn its EC 665 Tiger HAD combat platform from the Indian attack helicopter programme, the company confirmed to Jane's on 26 October.

An Indian-based Eurocopter spokeswoman said that the company had decided not to offer the aircraft because it is currently being upgraded. She added that Eurocopter informed the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) of its decision on 20 October, the deadline for submitting bids.
