“All formalities have been completed and the case has been put up to the CCS for couple of weeks now,” officials confirmed on the deal for 26 Rafale-M jets. “Negotiations were done weeks back,” an official stated. The Rafale-M deal is expected to be concluded in April when the French Defence Minister is expected to visit India.
Officials said that given that it is a government-to-government deal, funds earmarked in this fiscal budget can be rolled over to the next. Sources stated that the Scorpene deal is also complete in all respects.

76 Rafale in air force
26 in the Navy

Extensive overhaul maintenance hubs in India with TOT for servicing mid east and Asian Rafale operators globally

The MRFA will turn to show down between F35 and Su57 improved version next block which I think Russia will win eventually but not until 2030

Will the elevators of the Indian aircraft carrier be modified to accommodate the Rafale fighter jets?

That age old info concerning the elevators on our aircraft carriers could be inaccurate , i belive they can easily house rafales

I think we should just buy Russian Su57 and let go of the rafales afterall russians are offering us entire production line with TOT( which I belive is a myth ) but still Russians can help us maintain the much needed squadron numbers plus we'll get rid of jaguars and mig29s

No Rafale wing will be cut by one meter each.
