India floats $5 billion tender for 234 naval helicopters

With an eye on boosting its indigenous defence production and shoring up its defence capabilities, the Indian government has expressed interest to buy over 200 military helicopters.

The companies that bid for this contract will have to tie up with Indian partners to produce locally.

India is the world's largest defence importer.
