If we give very big order of c 17 is there possiblty that its production can be re started

Only if somehow we can pool 4-5 countries and make them order C-17s too. By just ourselves we don't have the money and the foresight* to place a significant order.

*we can easily make a KC-17, an E-17 and a B-17 from that C-17 to cover all our needs for next few decades.

Ordering something is expensive.
Ordering something when economies of scale is not fully achieved is more expensive.
But ordering something when the production line has closed is expensive even for a country like Murica or otherwise they'd have started production of improved F-22 as a stopgap till NGAD long ago.

With how much c 17 is used by us even in limited numbers if we had it in big numbers it would solve alot of problems
