If this doesn't go through within this fiscal year, then I've lost all hope from MoD

That Lungi from Kerala said the same thing, this fiscal year, soon will be signed....bla bla,, but what the hell... something fishy is happening, I don't think so the French want to give any ToT and don't want to take responsibilities for HAL's works

The Rafale cost has been exaggerated by Media and deranged morons like Bharat Karnad.

The per unit price is still $85-90 million and with aesa it can touch the $100 million mark.

The $20 billion nonsense is a fragment of the media's imagination.

Additionally the cost to set up domestic manufacturing units is not being paid to Dassault and its high time people become aware of that

So the additional cost to set up HAL manufacturing is not going to France ? They are going to offer the manufacturing machines for FREE ? What about the consultancy for setting up the manufacturing ? Is that also going to be free ? How exactly is that money going go India and not France ?

The money HAL spends to acquire land and machines is extra.

If the govt. wants to manufacture in france the deal cost will drop by billions. However a corrupt mafia such as HAL will naturally boost prices up.
