Mumbai, India: Boeing has revised its earlier prediction, expecting Indian airlines to order 1,850 new aircraft worth US$265 billion over the next 20 years. The aircraft manufacturer had earlier estimated that India would require 1,740 planes valued at US$240 billion over 20 years. This new figure revision is an increase of six percent.

Boeing has recently announced the intent of Taiwanese airliner EVA Airways to buy up to 24 of the latest 787-10 Dreamliners and two additional 777-300ER (extended range) jetliners. The purchase is worth more than US$8 billion.
