BAE Systems signs Indian Hawk jet deal
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10790222

Defence group BAE Systems and engine supplier Rolls-Royce have signed a 
£700m deal to supply India's Hindustan Aeronautics with 57 Hawk training 
jets...

***

For the same price: Approximately 5,600 city buses made in India, 
keeping five large bus factories occupied for a year. (It seems like the 
Hawks will be partly made in India). For comparison, there will be in 
total about 6,500 buses in Dehli's bus fleet ready for the Commonwealth 
Games later this year.

So, why is India outsourcing part of its vehicle manufacturing to 
England? :-)
