of course deal wont be signed by march - the whole process of contract negotiations is left and then the deal will have to be cleared by finance ministry - expect signing by mid to end of this year.
But for negotiations to even begin they need to announce the L1.

Very good question. Trying to keep all sides happy? We know the US was particuarly upset with the news last April. Would be foolish to add yet another type into the IAF's already diverse fleet, but maybe good in terms of speed as two separate manufactures producing ac simultaneously for the IAF's quickly depleting fleet of Bisons. Aswell as the industrail benifits of having yet another global player invesring heavily in the Indian aerospace indistery. But the logistics would be a nightmare.

Rafale Wins?

New Delhi: Sources have told NDTV that the French aviation company Dassault Rafale has won the $10.4 billion deal for supplying fighter aircraft to India. The Indian Airforce plans to buy 126 aircraft over the next ten years.

The first 18 aircraft will be bought off the shelf. The rest 118 will be manufactured in partnership with an Indian company.

There were six contenders for the worlds biggest defence deal which included MIG- 35, F-16 Falcon, F-18 Hornet, Gripen Euro-Fighter, Typhoon and Rafale. Of these, the Typhoon and Rafale were shortlisted. The rest were rejected as they didn't meet the technical qualifications.

No Deal Before March, But MMRCA Lowest Bidder "Soon": Minister

The Indian M-MRCA fighter deal won't be signed before the financial year draws down, Indian defence minister AK Antony told reporters in Delhi today, but confirmed that the lowest bidder would be declared "soon". It had been near certain that the results of the toss-up between bids by Dassault and EADS would be announced this month, though it now appears to have slipped into February...
