NEW DELHI (PTI): A global tender has been floated by the Indian Navy for procuring 56 Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) which are expected to cost over Rs 4,000 crore and will replace the fleet of its vintage Cheetah and Chetak choppers.
The Navy has issued the tender for light choppers after the Army and the IAF reached advanced stages of the process for procuring 197 LUHs for which Europe's Eurocopter and Russia's Kamov are in the race.
The tender for procuring 56 twin-engine Naval Utility Helicopters was issued earlier this week. It has been sent to major chopper makers including US firm Sikorsky, Eurocopter, Kamov and Italy's AgustaWestland, Navy officials told PTI here.
