New
Delhi, Sept 22: Swedish Saab has literally offered a sweet dish to India,
saying it will share the best of its aerospace technologies for the Indian Air
Force (IAF) and give it full controls like the vital source codes on aircraft
equipment and components so that IAF can play with them for modification to its
requirements now and in the coming decades. Pitching to sell the latest variant
of its combat jet, Gripen E, Saab CEO and President Hakan Buskhe announced his
company’s partnership with India’s Adani Group to Make the aircraft in India,
observing: “ We are committed to the India-Sweden relationship and in bringing
the latest technology and skills to India.” Asked specifically about the source
codes by India Strategic (www.indiastrategic.in), Mr Bukhse indicated that the
Swedes would give unfettered control over technologies to India, and hopefully
meet whatever demands the Ministry of Defence (MoD) makes with regard to
technologies. The Saab Chairman along with Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani,
told newsmen that Saab had finalized this partnership as the “Adani group is
one of India’s largest conglomerates … with a long history of entrepreneurship
spanning through decades of dynamic growth.” “We are committed to the
India-Sweden relationship and in bringing the latest technology and skills to
India,” Mr Buskhe said adding: “Our plans in India are to create a new defence
eco-system that would involve many partners, vendors and suppliers. To achieve
this, we need a strong Indian partner who can help create the framework for the
infrastructure and eco-system to come into place.” UNI
