India recently made a significant military purchase from the UK, according to Breaking News:
"BreakingNews>
British official: India agrees to buy 57 Hawk jets worth about $800 million from Britain - AP"
The Hawk serves either as a low-cost combat aircraft or as a trainer.
India often moves back and forth between buying Russian and Western military equipment. That it continues to buy UK equipment is a good sign for Indo-Western relations, despite the tensions in the region caused by the continuing Afghan War.
