RIO DE JANEIRO, June 7 (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer expects India to move ​ahead in the coming months ‌with a military transport aircraft tender in which its C-390 Millennium is a key contender, ​Chief Executive Francisco Gomes Neto ​told Reuters.

• India is set to issue a ⁠request for proposal (RFP) covering between 60 ​and 80 aircraft, Gomes Neto said ​on the sidelines of a global meeting of airline executives in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday.
• "The ​information we have is that the ​RFP should come in the next few months," ‌he ⁠said.
• "And what we hear in the Indian market is that they want to make a decision by the end ​of 2027, ​which would ⁠be a very interesting time frame," he added.
• Embraer has been ​seeking to boost global sales ​of ⁠the C-390, and sees India as a strategic market.
• The aircraft is a major ⁠competitor ​to Lockheed Martin's C-130 ​Hercules.
• Embraer has partnered with India's Mahindra on the C-390.
