Its waiting for a note from DM MP right from May month beginning for CCS clearance and formal invitation to sign the agreement ..
Everything else is a hogwash being carried out bcz of the fact that we want to make payments in Q3/Q4..

If all the so called price, offsets to even some rules (legal issues) were such big issues, we would have seen much more in terms of contacts and meetings.

How many of the folks even know that in June French Ambassador to India changed. and French Amb was already the one who was leading the communication between French and Indian government. The new ambassador is Mr Alexandre ZIEGLER whereas previous amb was Mr Francois Richier.

Mr Richier was deeply involved in Rafale jet deal along with N-Plant. He was also one of the major forces who strengthened Indian Cop21 commitment by pushing for Solar Energy investment in India. Rumour in Delhi circle says he has a very happy and close relationship with our NSA.

Mr Ziegler is now connecting the dots and trying to pick up from where Richier left. and Its not easy winning trust and confidence from day 1. By the way previously he was Chief of Staff and worked in the office of Laurent Fabius..

The Government of India is set to finalise the purchase of 36 Rafale combat aircraft in fly-away condition from France for the Indian Air Force (IAF).

The move comes as the IAF is in critical operational necessity for multirole combat aircraft.

The Dassault Aviation-built multi-role jet fighter will be supplied as part of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) signed by France and India in January this year.

"The long-awaited medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) contract is expected to be worth more than $20bn."
The long-awaited medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) contract is expected to be worth more than $20bn.

The IAF initially planned to acquire 126 Rafale aircraft, with the first 18 jets to be manufactured in France from the second quarter of 2015 onwards, while the remaining 108 to be locally built following a technology transfer to Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

The countries, however, could not reach an agreement as Dassault refused to provide guarantees for the fighters built in India.

The new MMRCA aircraft will feature an advanced electronically scanned array radar, mid-air refuelling and advanced electronic warfare equipment.

Powered by two SNECMA M88 engines, Rafale has been designed to conduct air-to-air combat, reconnaissance flights and nuclear bombing missions.

The aircraft can be fitted with anti-ship and air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. It is in use with the French Navy and Air Force, and has also been ordered by Egypt.

A negotiating team has been formed to negotiate the terms and conditions of the procurement of Rafale jets and recommend a draft agreement.

The negotiations are currently underway and the IGA is yet to be finalised.

Bro Honestly we should stop posting articles like this !!... read something like this way too many times!!!.... Lets us be surprised and happy when they Actual sign !!!!

[I M Sikander]

@PARIKRAMA do you have anything on this ?

Yes,
I asked mods to merge this thread and all Rafale threads to the sticky

But seriously, you should see how everyday at least a couple of articles will come out about Rafale. And focus is still the same old points.. Whole MMRCA $20Bn + .. that is really going long long back..

Those points are over way back. In the sticky @Ankit Kumar 002 posted a good reporter hearing deal is hitting CCS. now that can happen only when price, offset and all modalities are completed. THats what I said back from April May that only a note from DM MP is pending. He is delaying it bcz payments are meant to be made in Q3 end/ Q4. Anyways BJP jumped the gun by announcing Rafale deal and achievement of PM NaMo so now it's more of a point to prove DM MP negotiated everything better than before..

Wait for August, I am sure good news should be out.. beyond September end I believe French side would give up completely unless they are courted by India again with some carrot.

India should not forget France will have a election and the Australian sub deal, 36 Rafales and Make in India plan for Rafales and the N reactors goes to help Francois Hollande or else Nicholas Sarkozy will be back in power. And Sarkozy is again a very good friend of India of course

Hahahah

Don't worry pakistan is not going have any, not in your lifetime or any others.

 

[Grevion]

The deal will only be signed if our honorable DM decides to reopen his butt cr@cks which are sealed because he has been sitting on the file for too long.

No offence to @PARIKRAMA if the rumours are true and you are indeed DM Parrikar.

 

[Green Angel]

36 Deals for 36 Fighter jets......

 

[I M Sikander]

Don't worry pakistan is not going have any, not in your lifetime or any others.

You neither have either despite all tall claims for the last 13 years

 

[I M Sikander]

Good development .. India is negotiating rafale and Pakistan is negotiating jets with Jordan .

Nothing new india is doing this nonsense for the last 12 year without getting a single jet. Carry on.

 

[nang2]

This process reminds me the limit definition in calculus.

 

[Local_Legend]

There was an ad of Asian Paints where the house owner requests Mr. Yamraj to come after the exterior paint got dimmed . If I was he , I will say come after Raffle deal is signed . I will live more than that Asian Paint guy because they gives warrenty for just 5 freaking years. For this deal ?????

This is MOD version of Mauka Mauka ad and I feel like the person who holds the pataka box.

Every time gets ready to celebrate and at the end opens a Mc Dowels Celeberation half liter

 

[Thorough Pro]

What's new to warrant a new thread for the same old story that we have been hearing for many years?
