Looking to acquire 75 basic trainer aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF), the Ministry of Defence has issued a request for proposal (RFP) to a dozen global aircraft manufacturers. The manufacturers including such global names as Embraer (aircraft name in brackets) (Tucano), Pilatus (PC-7 or PC-/9), Raytheon (T-6 Texan), Finmeccanica (M-311), Grob Aircraft Company (G-120TP), EADS PZL (PZL-130-TC-11 Orik) and Korea Aerospace Industries (KT-1) are required to submit their proposals by March 17. ..........Hindu

M-311 like turboprop trainer? LoL :D
m-311 aka s-211 is the only turbofan trainer in basic airforce training,my choice would be pc9/pc21 which would also double in advanced training hence saving time/money on advanced jet trainer.
oh i forgot to add,how many decades will it take for IAF to arrive at the decision , that AJT took over 25 years to decide and buy. LOL.
