First Official Word that Negotiations are completed.

Rafale Deal

As per the India-France Joint Statement issued by the two countries during the Prime Minister’s visit to France, Government of India conveyed to the Government of France that in view of the critical operational necessity for Multirole Combat Aircraft for Indian Air Force (IAF), Government of India would like to acquire 36 Rafale jet in fly-away condition. Both the sides also agreed to conclude an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) for supply of the aircraft. A Negotiating Team was constituted to negotiate the terms and conditions of the procurement of 36 Rafale jets and recommend a draft agreement.


"" The Negotiating Team has submitted its Report which is under examination in Government. ""

The Government constantly reviews the security environment and ensures that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is fully equipped to meet the security challenges. The IAF undertakes the process of modernization of its fleet by procurement and upgradation of aircraft. The operational strength of the IAF is being augmented by these measures.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar in a written reply to Shrimati Ranjanben Bhatt and others in Lok Sabha today.

NEW DELHI: The defence ministry’s top acquisition council is likely to take up this month the final report submitted by a team negotiating the much-anticipated Rafale fighter jet deal with France.

The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by defence minister Manohar Parrikar, is likely to meet on August 18.

The Council had last month reviewed the multi-billion Euro Rafale deal and directed the Indian negotiating team to submit its report “expeditiously”.

“The negotiating team has submitted its report, which is under examination,” the minister said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Friday.

During his visit to France in April last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that India would purchase 36 Rafale jets in a government-to-government contract.

Soon after the announcement, the defence ministry scrapped a separate process that was on to purchase 126 Rafale fighter planes, built by French defence giant Dassault Aviation.

The new deal comes with the clause of delivering 50 per cent offsets, creating business worth at least 3 billion Euros for smaller Indian companies and generating thousands of jobs in India through offsets.

The commercial negotiations on the pricing of the planes, equipment and other issues began in mid-January this year.

[PARIKRAMA]

@PARIKRAMA sir when you think they will sign the final deal

No sir pls..

We should see the following steps - within this month DAC and CCS giving approval and then in another 30 days we should see French side in India to sign IGA and formal contracts. Then confirmation payment by Q3/Q4
So you can count around max 60 days or less may be around 45-50 days for whole process to be over with

 

[Crixus]

I right Sir just to highlight your knowledge in the subject nothing else So by 2017 the deal will be complete and we can see by 2020 these birds in India

If the original plan is true then delivery should get over within 36 months from the time of deal being signed as its a "priority" order to meet our numbers requirement on urgent basis.
What i have always heard is Indian Rafale work is partly being kept ready in order to first boost the number of Rafales produced per month higher and second to meet the tight deadline schedule.

unless India have changed the "priority" status we should see all Raffys by 2020 surely

 

[Crixus]

May be I am wrong but BJP govt will try very hard to at least receive some planes before 2019 election as these aircrafts have positive impact on lot of young Indians

What about the off the shelt Rafale-M orders for the navy bro, any news/info on them? When will/can they be in service?

+ What are the chances the IAF exercises the follow-on clause for off the shelf Rafales over and above this 36 whilst the MII line is being set up?
