Flight Training in India?

Interesting twist.
They are flocking to Canada for training.
Biggest reason I have been told it the shortage of training capability.
Training aircraft must be a recognized in India, such as a 152, 172 or
Seneca. A 150 or a Seminole won't count with the DGCA India. Some
students I have been told are of necissity being careless with listing
the aircraft type in their log book.
Bang out a commercial multi and at least a single ifr (yeah hard for me
to believe too) and then on to the Airbus right seat.

Hello Everyone,

I am interested to know if anyone has any information on flight
training in India. I have done a little "googleing", and of course
there is training available. What I= am wondering is if anyone here
has any understanding of the cost vis-a-vis instruction in the U.S.
If the economics are right, I am considering going to India for
concentrated training (private - commercial). I am also wondering
about the potential market that might support operation of a small
aircraft in India, carrying newly affluent Indians from point A to
Point B.

Your knowledge and thoughts greatly appreciated.
