The intergovernmental agreement on the joint development and construction of the aircraft, which received the designation MTA (Medium Transport Aircraft), was signed by the governments of Russia and India in 2007. In subsequent years, future partners agreed that the Russian and Indian parties will each own 50% of the company’s shares, the headquarters will be opened in New Delhi .
