ذكر نائب رئيس الوزراء الروسي دميتري روغوزني أن الهند عندما أعلنت عن مناقشة المروحيات من هذا النوع فقد كان المنافس الرئيسي للطائرات الروسية مروحية "يوروكوبتر".
". وأشار روغوزين إلى إلغاء المناقصة لاحقا نظرا للخصائص الفريدة التي تميز "كا-226".
وقد اتفقت الهند مع روسيا على القيام بإنتاج المروحيات من طراز "مي-17" و"كا-226ت" على أراضيها، حسبما قال روغوزين اليوم الخميس 11 كانون الأول/ديسمبر.
وقد تم التوصل إلى الاتفاق بشأن المروحيات بعد محادثات الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين مع رئيس الوزراء الهندي ناريندرا مودي.
وقال روغوزين: "هناك عقدان، الأول بشأن "مي-17" الذي تحتاجه الهند والثاني "كا-226ت". وهو عقد كبير وسيتم جمع المروحيات على الأراضي الهندية".
وأشار روغوزين إلى تعديل المروحيات لتنفيذ المهام في الظروف البحرية والجبلية.
