Indian low-cost airline Akasa Air placed an order for 72 Boeing 737 MAX jets, a move that might help the U.S. planemaker regain lost ground in one of the world's most promising markets.

The orders by Akasa, which is backed by billionaire investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, are incremental orders, a Boeing executive said on Tuesday.
