In India, they wanted to localize the production of Rafale fighters in their territory

51

India, having made the purchase of more than three dozen Rafale fighters from France (until the party has been delivered to the customer), made it clear that if it buys a new large batch of these aircraft, then the French must make certain concessions. What specific concessions are we talking about?

Thus, the Indian press reports that the Indian state-owned company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has entered into negotiations with the French company Dassault. The goal for HAL is to be able to launch the production of Rafale in India. The company explains this with the Make in India program in force in the country.



It should be noted that the issue of localizing the production of French fighters in India has been raised since 2012, but then the French side rejected the proposal of India.

According to the Indian general Bipin Ravat, within 4 years, India could order another 36 Rafal fighters if the French go to establish the Indian branch of the enterprise.

Bipin Ravat makes it clear that the Indian authorities want to get the Rafal production line on its territory:

It would be possible to localize the production of fighters or some important components for them in our territory.

Along with this, Indian journalists managed to find out some features of the already concluded contract. It turned out that the contract for the purchase of 36 Rafales cost the Indian treasury as much as 7,8 billion euros.

It turns out that the cost of one “Raphael” under this contract is astronomical: almost 217 million euros. But New Delhi said that 50 percent of the contract value, the French "will send to the defense industry in India with a partial transfer of technology." In other words, the price of one “Raphael” (at a rough estimate) for India is about 108-109 million dollars. However, this price looks very high for 4th generation fighters.

Opposition forces in India, guided by this information, accuse the authorities of implementing corruption schemes.

          What a clever word - SEND! .¿ # ™ ... what's the point of taking money and immediately giving back!?! Complete nonsense ... This is not just a money transfer, it is an investment with the possibility of withdrawing profits, and the whole amount over time! So the halving of the price for rafal is a complete lie !!!

          Not true. India has developed an engineering school. There are also strong scientists. They produce electronics and software themselves.
          If you pay attention, they make good ballistic missiles, space rockets, nuclear weapons. Their probe flies around the moon. In some places they have knowledge gaps.
          They are less organized and disciplined than the Chinese, which hinders the Indians.

        Dasso Rafal since 1986 in production, the minimum price of 124 million, there are cheaper versions. SU 30 80 - 83 million for 1992. Well, somehow they did not begin to localize Soviet technology in India. They climbed into Europe ... Well, they saw the dream engine on European standards.

You can put Western AFAR on your Su30, if you don’t like ours, you can put a lot of things into it. But, Rafal, it’s like it or not, but a light aircraft of the Grippen class, how not to stuff it, it has completely different prices, tasks and opportunities.

        When buying rafal, Indians wanted access to technology. Is it really incomprehensible?

      Some strange negative, in half of the comments, on the topic of "dough bugs". And no one sees the consistent implementation of the Made in India program. Apparently, the organization of production and jobs in the country is an unnecessary thing; IMHO, bad goods and salaries are better than none. Better to dance than to shake the air with lies.
