Sukhoi faces huge cost esclation: CAG
The Indian Comptroller and Auditor General has found that it is more expensive to manufacture Su-30MKI locally then to import them from Russia.

The projet is facing huge costs overruns and some of the fighters in the latest batch are flying without some advanced critical airborne systems.

The projected cost for 140 aircraft has jumped from Rs 22,122.78 crores in 2000 to Rs 39,224.9 crores in 2005.
