India to sign major defence deal with France for 60 Rafale fighter jets for IAF

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to sign a major defence deal with France in order to boost India's military capabilities and infrastructure. A new deal to buy 60 Rafale fighter jets is likely to be announced in a joint press conference by Modi and French President Francois Hollande in Paris on Friday.

Three squadrons of about 60 jets are to be bought in a new contract between the Government of India and Government of France. The deal is worth over $4 billion and it overrides the MMRCA process in which Dasault Rafale was lowest bidder for 126 aircraft. The final signing of the MMRCA deal is yet to take place as India and France have some differences over the final amount.

India is keen to finish the acquisition before 2017 when a large number of old MiG squadrons will have to be phased out.

The deal is worth over $4 billion and it overrides the MMRCA process in which Dasault Rafale was lowest bidder for 126 aircraft.

Modi arrived in France on Thursday night, the first leg of his three-nation tour. During his four-day stay, Modi will hold talks with Hollande and meet business leaders and the focus of the talks will be civil nuclear, defence and trade.

The two leaders are also expected to unveil Franco-Indian stamps. The highlight of the trip will be a boat ride on the Seine river which is being described as 'Naav pe charcha'.

In France, the Prime Minister will also visit the World War-I memorial and pay tributes to about 10,000 Indians who lost their lives while fighting alongside France. He will also visit UNESCO headquarters, Airbus facility and French space agency office.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said, "The Prime Minister will discuss all issues including those of strategic nature. There will be discussions on defence and nuclear matters."

On the question of promoting 'Make in India' concept, Akbaruddin said, "'Make in India' is PM Modi's most important goal and he will promote the concept in France."

After wrapping up the first leg of his tour, Modi will head to Germany, where business and technology will be the focus his engagements aimed at attracting participation in the 'Make in India' campaign.

In the third and last leg of his tour, Modi will travel to Canada, marking the first standalone visit by an Indian Prime Minister in over 42 years.

The deal is worth over $4 billion

Only 4 billion, the how 126 comes to 20 billion as said by many.

 

[uparyupari]

And mark my words . Rest of the money will go into AMCA/MK2/Su35S and PakFa

I hope not. They need to go into LAC and AMCA.

 

[hkdas]

TOT is on the table. France offers more on direct purchase according to ndtv.

what you mean by ToT is still on Table?? french offer ToT for what?? india is not going to built any plane.

hope Modi won't let you down this time. When he plans to be China rival, he means serious.

Guys let's not forget that Modi is pushing the "Make in India" in a HUGE way so I seriously doubt 60 Rafales bought off the shelf built in a foreign land with no ToT is what Modi would okay, there is more to this than meets the eye.....

Sour grapes?

That's the point 'said by many' but 'confirmed by none'

But it looks like that's the case, all channels are reporting the same story now

I haven't the faintest idea. The Egyptians will commit suicide or more likely murder, if we got 60 planes for $ 4 billion. My own feeling is that we might actually buy some planes already in use with the French Air Force along with brand new planes.

 

[Abingdonboy]

But it looks like that's the case, all channels are reporting the same story now

They are reporting one element of it perhaps, it doesn't make sense to only procure 60 Rafales anyway.

"China rival"???? bad translator or insufficient knowledge in English??
