Six international companies have submitted bids for a contract potentially worth more than $10 billion to build 126 multirole fighter jets, the Indian ministry of defense said. The international companies offered their proposals on the last day of bidding, a ministry spokesman said. The list of bidders will be reduced to two or three before a final decision is made, the spokesman said. The bidders include Lockheed and Boeing of the United States, MIG of Russia, Dassault of France, Saab of Sweden and European Aeronautic Defense and Space, the consortium that makes the Typhoon. The spokesman said the first batch of fighters was not expected before 2011.
