Lots of issues were raised here recently.
First price. I heared of that 30 billion and was told BS. (to be plain).
Second well cost. Don't forget ToT costs include a lot of training, industrial procedures (you just don't build a Rafale the same way as a F-35 or Mki, no judgements about planes, but building process is different)
Third is and often forgotten, industrialization costs. Tooling, training ppl on specific tools and process (eg the automated "tube" making of material composites). Again, no judgement about HAL or Reliance,
Quality assessment. Dassault is known to have one of the best worldwide.
Softwares. I know india is full of talented developers. Anyone has been within virtual center at Dassault? It is just like minority reports. And it is not only the software, but how to use it. See recent SAAB comments about it.
Finally, India will get as far as i was told, part of intellectual property of Rafale as far as new subcomponents will be built for indian Rafales.
If that is true (and i won't write it as a journalist, even if i'm the one that got confirmation from Dassault CEO about workshare during his conference), that is quite nice no?
