Umm, wait, unless i got that wrong, Isn't India changing the RFP rules itself now.....they wanted 18 in flyaway condition (original tender, regardless of which aircraft was selected) and rest by HAL....seems like even Modi has realized that they were demanding too much.....or expecting too much.

Right! But there was a problem regarding manufacture of the aircraft by HAL. The French wanted to wash their hands of the clause in the contract which mentioned that Dassault would be responsible for the quality of fighters manufactured by HAL which was agreed to and signed. But they backed out of this clause saying that Dassault cannot be held responsible for planes manufactured by HAL.

Secondly there was the issue of price escalation which was exorbitant. However, this issue has now been sorted out. 36 rafales would be bought off the shelf in flyaway condition. The remainder would be built in India by a consortium led by HAL-Dassault.

 

[SpArK]

Problem was not with HAL, but with the cost of setting up manufacturing facilities in private and state sector from ZeRo along with the logistics which amounted to 8 Billion which added up total cost from 12 to 20 Billion.
