We too have an independent foreign policy like France..
Not an Indian version, but possibly similar to Brahmos, where we take the hull (at least the design should be similar to MICA) and the propulsion from a foreign partner and add the seeker / navigation parts, in this case from the Trishul SAM development.
This was shown earlier as possible Maitri SAM:

It cannot be overstated how badly India needs these sort of systems. Faced with a possible 2-front war, opponents with rapidly modernizing air forces who have (cumulatively) numbers on their side. If you look at the ADS in India up until recently-even still today, it is made up of mostly pathetic, outdated Soviet junk. The reason India needs to spend such colossal amounts in almost ever area of the military is because for almost 2 decades the forces were neglected and deprived of funding and new equipment.
If things had been better in the '90s then this $6bn deal (and other major deals) could have been spread out over a decade of orders but now it going to be all up front.
India is having to play catch-up at a serious pace now.
The fact that increasingly such deals are the result of a JV is just the cherry on top.

China government is really stingy in military spending, no foreign purchase for years except for some Russian engines.
After 1998 Nuke tests, only France didn't impose sanctions on us. They are trusted allies like Israel and Russia.
