With no end in sight for the negotiations between the Indian MoD and Dassault over the purchase of the Rafale fighter, Rosoboronexport and Eurofighter have offered price drops to swing the deal their way.
Some official word was expected from the Indian MoD about the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) during the last meeting of the Defence Acquisition Council. This has not happened despite the Indian Air Force (IAF) sounding alarm over the depleted fighter strength and the recent grounding of the Su-30MKI fleet over ejection seat issues.
However, the lack of communication has led to speculation that both sides are not able to conclude commercial negotiations with differences hinging on price, transfer of technology and the manufacture of the aircraft in India.
The only recent word has come from the French ambassador to India Francois Richier who said, “soon, contract for medium multi role combat aircraft (MMRCA) project will be finalised”.
MMRCA Delay Raise Hopes For Rosoboronexport, Eurofighter
