Summary: This special report focuses on Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signing a landmark Memorandum of Understanding with Russia's United Aircraft Corporation to produce the SJ-100 civil aircraft in India, a move set against a backdrop of US tariff pressure under President Donald Trump. The bulletin states that, 'India continues to maintain that the interest of its people comes first in doing business.' The deal, signed on October 27, 2025, in Moscow, will see HAL manufacture the twin-engine, narrow-body aircraft, which is positioned as a 'game-changer' for India's regional connectivity UDAN scheme. This marks India's first full passenger aircraft production since the Avro HS-748 project ended in 1988. The agreement comes ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's expected visit to India for the India-Russia Annual Summit in December 2025, reinforcing the 'Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership' between the two nations.
