Deal is estimated to be worth $2.42 billion. The U.S. State Department on Friday approved the proposed sale of six P-8I patrol aircraft and related equipment, a deal estimated to cost $2.42 billion.
In November 2019, the Defence Acquisition Council, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, approved the procurement of the long-range maritime surveillance aircraft manufactured by Boeing.
The original proposal was for 10 more aircraft but was cut down to six due to budgetary constraints as well as because the Navy had adopted some fleet rationalisation measures and was considering long-endurance unmanned platforms.
The possible sale comes through the Foreign Military Sale route and requires that the U.S. Congress be notified, a process that was completed on Friday. Lawmakers have a statutory 30 days to raise any objections.

The Indian Army makes moves to select its first ever truck-mounted howitzers, plus it recognises the need to protect its T-90S tank fleet.
Earlier this year, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) concluded production of 100 K9 Vajra-T SPHs. Now the Indian Army has manifested a desire for additional 155mm L/52 SPHs via an RfI issued on 1 April.
The RfI for a Mounted Gun System does not equivocally state that it should be tracked or wheeled platform, but a careful reading of the document indicates that a truck-mounted howitzer is being sought.
