Enough now of this fast negotiations, this is India we talkin about. This much negotiations would have been enough to buy the whole Dassault company itself with full TOT leave alone a jet they make.

More negotiations
No country has ever taken 8 year time to finalize just 36 jets deal.
Finally an end to the so called mother of all deals.

Considering PM's statement in France that these 36 fighters are for critical and urgent requirement, negotiators would conclude the discussions quickly. Also the fact (stated recently) that France has offered sweet conditions for this batch, would mean that atleast Financially, the negotiators have backing from government (biggest roadblock is removed) and the technicalities for deal would be sorted out shortly.
I think we will get to hear about a formal contract within a couple of months from now and hopefully, this is beginning for future induction of larger numbers of Rafales in Indian colors.

France offers 25% discount to India on purchase of 36 Rafale jets - The Economic Times

 

[Makaramarma]

Couple of Things are pretty clear now.

MMRCA is DEAD. Its scraped.

The ballpark cost per aircraft as per Dassault's winning bid for the 126 MMRCA programme — the old, nowscrapped, Rafale deal — came to about $300 million (probably 295 million $), taking into account the estimates of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL). Sources told ET that the objective was to bring this down to a little over $200 million apiece.

...The price per aircraft is not just the acquisition cost of the platform, but also includes maintenance facilities, training of pilots and technicians, armaments and spares.

If i remember what Trappier said in an interview,they will increase the production to 2 jets/month. (They can manufacture 2.5 jets/month.)
