Early-stage discussions include options for another 50 aircraft, with deliveries potentially starting in 2030 or later

India's largest ​airline IndiGo is in early-stage talks to ‌buy 100 regional jets from Embraer, ​with options for about ⁠50 more, three people with direct knowledge of the matter said, in what could ‌be one largest commercial aircraft orders placed with the Brazilian planemaker.

Embraer has ⁠been pushing its regional jets to Indian airlines and this year signed a non-binding pact ​with Adani Defence & Aerospace ‌to explore a final assembly line in India for its E175 jets, which can seat up to ‌88 passengers. The firm also makes ​the larger E190-E2 and E195-E2 jets, which can seat up ⁠to 114 and 146 passengers, respectively.

An IndiGo-Embraer deal is not guaranteed, and ‌the aircraft model and quantity have not been finalised, the two people said on condition of anonymity. Deliveries are likely to begin from or after 2030, they said.

While talks ‌between IndiGo and Embraer have been reported previously, ​Reuters is first to reveal the number of planes ⁠and options under consideration. If concluded, the 100 ⁠jets alone could be worth billions of dollars at list ‌prices, though discounts are common in such deals.
