France Agrees to Reinvest 50% Worth of Rafale Contract in Indian Economy

The French side agreed to reinvest in the Indian economy 50 percent worth of the contract on the delivery of French-built Rafale fighters for Indian Air Force, the Indian Ministry of Defense said Friday.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Francois Hollande agreed on a $9-billion deal to supply the Indian Air Force with 36 French-built Rafale multirole fighters in April. Initially India planned to buy 126 Rafale jets to modernize its air force.

"Keeping the dwindling effective squadrons strength in view, the Indian Air Force has undertaken a massive upgrade programme of its fighter and transport Aircraft. To give thrust to this programme it has immediately gone for procurement of 36 Rafale Aircraft on government to government sell which includes 50% offsets that will help our medium and small scale industries in the aviation sector," the statement reads.

The Rafale is a French fourth-generation multirole twin-engine fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation.

Still it works out to be 250 m$ rafale though might include spares, warranty and service contracts for 20 yrs for 2 air bases ?

Buddy...Indian hyped MMRCA deal helped france get another 2 clients
I am so confused about price of Rafale.
Does Rafale cost 230 mill$ a piece? Does it include spares, arnaments,maintanence in it?

If yes..Then how for many years, spares will keep flowing ??

AAPTARD converts have habit of making accusations without any proof.

Turd doesnt know that India has been supporting offset program for 10 yrs. They are helping us develop indigenous capability

The deal probably includes spares,maintenance, armaments. French will also provide some TOT. The offset policy will be beneficial for India. 4-5 bill $ defence sourcing from India will assist Indian companies R&D/manufacturing in avionics,radar,imaging,engine components.
Indian airforce is losing Mig21 and Mig27. Tejas will be replacing them in large nos.

There is some downfall in capability primarily bcoz of Su30 serviceability and spares problem
Good things will begin to unfold from 2017

I have stopped counting on Rafales long ago. Get some Mig29s and second hand mirage 2000s, retire the mig27s and then work on replacing the remaining Mig21s 1 on 1.
