Hollande's visit in India : 2 major deals on the table

[Blue Marlin]

no sir, the ex dassault person who gave this picture in the forum some months back did not give break up. What he did say is based on the demand, there could be subtractions from the plan and customised version may have higher proportion for example for Indian ones due to asking for longer maintenance plan.

does the total cost factor in indian additional equipment costs?

Yes under the head Mods and other improvements - under that head he explained about the addition of costs for Astra BVRs and other items (like HUD)

Rafale and scorpenes - Both of these makers are purely Private like in US or Pure Govt. firms or a combination of both?

La visite de François Hollande en Inde prévue fin janvier pourrait être l'occasion de la signature du contrat des 36 Rafale et d'une éventuelle commande de six sous-marins Scorpène supplémentaires.

First,as we all know,Hollande will be the chief guest at India's republic day. The Elysée stated "This invitation reflects the quality and dynamism of the strategic partnership between India and France, which will be further strengthened on this occasion ""

According to latribune.fr,2 major deals should be part of the discussions between Modi and Hollande ;

-Rafale deal (a first order of 36 Rafale)
-6 more scorpène submarines

The Elysée also stated "The visit of Francois Hollande is also in line with the Paris Climate Conference where "India has played a key role for an ambitious agreement,"

It is estimated that the deals could be signed by the end of January.

No news on the AREVA power plant in India? It is set to be the largest such facility in the world but has been stalled for years now.

I quoted this from an article on lemonde.fr (Nobember 28th.)

"en Inde, où le dossier de l’EPR traîne depuis plusieurs années."

It is exactly what you said. "but has been stalled for years now."

Maybe this will be discussed during the visit of Hollande ?
I don't think he will only talk about defence deals.

I'm certain Hollande will look to progres the Jaitpur plant and actually during their meetings in April in Paris they had moved foreward:

India: AREVA signs agreements for the development of the Jaitapur nuclear power plant project - AREVA

At 9900 MW and valued at $15BN USD this deal is hugely significant for both sides.


+ I hope during their third interaction in the span of a year the two leaders will progress infrastrucutre devlopment projects in India. French companies are world-class and in the bidding to supply a lot of equipment and expertise in this area that often gets overlooked.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL

This is some really good news
SIX more Scorpenes

 

[Super Falcon]

France is an honoured and deep friend of India. I hope 36 Rafales is not the end of it...is all I can say. It should either be 0 or 100+.

Scorpene follow on order is a welcome development.

Outside of defence I am looking forward to more industrial and research partnerships across the whole spectrum of the economies of both nations.

At the same time that indian friend supplied enemy of india AGOSTA 90B subs


Anyway india went crazy

Weapons from USA. RUSSIA FRANCE ISRAEL

SIX more Scorpenes

Six more in addition to the previous 3 follow-on orders or does this include the 3 follow on orders?

 

[Tameem]

My question still remains, what was the point selling those subs to pakistan ?? not to mention the deal was laced with corruption..

That was a token compensation from France to an earlier backout of words, promising to provides Nuclear Processing plant, the deal was signed in 1976 and cancelled within months on the pressure of USA.

Man i miss @sancho here

I think he is on some Indian defense forum.

I saw his name on another site. I forgot which one though.

@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy

Yaar khush ker diya.

We knew we will buy 36 French built Rafale jets. Now we also know, there is second part to this, which is make in India program. So total will be, what we have been saying, close to 180.

In reference to Scorpene subs, I hope we go for full available option. Which is 6, bringing the total number to 12. I also think because of these huge deals, French will be giving a TOT on the back end, or helping India in other projects, where they are struggling.

So January 27th will be good day.

I'm also excited about Modi's visit to Russia. Lots and lots of goodies. Santa is in a very giving mood to India.

India's adversaries will have sleepless nights, ef that, I think no more sleeping for them, and more reasons t of being jealous.

You know, what is more scarier, all this is only for this year's deals. Imagine, what SANTA will be giving us next year and the next and the next year. As long as Modi is in office, he is determined to make India, not strong, but LETHAL.
