New ATR-72 being purchased by Army Aviation as per latest tender (page 3 in the document).

The Tender is in local currency or FOR Basis. This would indicate that they'd be buying the said ATR from PIA surplus pool as also shown in the Meeting Minutes having PIA flight ops representatives attending the meeting. It will not be a new aircraft
