India seems to be planning for all pieces to fall in place by the 2012-14 period.
The economy
The Missile programme
The Naval / Airforce / Army development.

The IAF already has plans for 4 advanced landing grounds in Ladakh to be opened, some for An-32 operations. All these are already functioning for helicoptor ops I think.
