FGFA is a T50 mod for export. If India does not fill it with it's own stuff for the sake of supporting the domestic industry you could cut the developmental costs even more. Current production shedule includes 4 (or was it 6?) FGFA (ПМИ) aircraft in the 2016-2020 time line.

"Indian requirements", in my opinion, are mostly BS, for example T50S gets the cheek arrays and all round optics/ELINT coverage from the get go. The other things they complain about - such as the developmental share, are the results of their own failures - the failure to get into the program early in this specific case.
