I. Mats Palmberg, Vice President for industrial partnerships at Saab, said if his company
II. bag the deal, in the first instance, 18 of the 114 aircrafts will be made in Sweden with Indians being present
III. at the manufacturing facility there to acquaint themselves to the technology and manufacturing processes.
The error lies in part 2.
The sentence uses the noun 'instant', which means a moment. This is incorrect here.
The context suggests that the word is used to mean 'in first case', which suggests that the correct word here should be the noun 'instance', which means 'example' or 'case'.
Parts 1 and 3 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
