The IAF plans for over sixty helicopters while the Indian Army plans for over 120 LUHs. The Low Rate Initital Production (LRIP) 1 consists of four LUHs, two for the IAF and two for the Indian Army, all expected to be delivered by March 2023. LRIP2 consists of eight LUHs to be built between 2023 and 2024. HAL announced that they expect to build some 1100 LUHs for the civil and military market, including exports.

The IAF had a massive number of 260 Su-30MKIs in inventory, of which 50 were built in Russia. All others were built by HAL. At least 11 were written off. 150 Su-30MKIs are now expected to be upgraded to MKI-3. This SB222 is one of the first of these upgraded aircraft. Full production of the US$ 4 billion upgrade program is expected to start in 2023, with first upgraded MKI-3s to enter operational service by 2024. The upgrades mostly concern a digital cockpit, improved avionics, sensor systems and to replace the 1980s radar by a modern active electronically scanned array radar developed by HAL.
