Is the Mi-26 retiring from Indian service?

Going on this report the recent Indian purchase of CH-47 Chinook will lead to the retirement of the Mi-26.

I always assumed the Mi-26 would be retained as it fits a different niche. Strategic heavy lift rather then the tactical heavy lift the Chinook performs. Im aware the Mi-26 is a maintenance hog so I can understand why India would want the Chinook which has proven itself as a reliable platform over the years. Of course the Chinook will have a secondary advantage in that it is far more deployable on a global scale as it fits in the new C17 they are buying.

So is the Mi-26 heading for retirement with India or has the report got it wrong?

Oh and Chinook loaded into C17… try that with a IL476 😎 I await JSR excuse with baited breath!
