Embraer Defense & Security and Mahindra Defence Systems have announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the C-390 Millennium bid for the Indian Air Force's (IAF's) Medium Transport Aircraft (MTA) procurement project.

As part of the MOU, which was signed in New Delhi on 9 February, Embraer and Mahindra will “jointly pursue the MTA programme”, according to Bosco da Costa Junior, president and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.

Under the MTA project, the IAF seeks to acquire a batch of 40, 60, or 80 transport aircraft. In its request for information (RFI), which was released in February 2023, the IAF said the aircraft are required to have a cargo-carrying capacity of between 18 and 30 tons. Embraer has previously told Janes that the C-390 can carry 26 tons of cargo, making the aircraft eligible.
