French defense minister is in India to increase the chances of French Rafale in the the Indian MMRCA (medium multi-role combat aircraft) contract for 126 fighter jets.
French Rafale is currently competing against the Eurofighter Typhoon after the elimination of the American F/A-18 'Super Hornet' and F-16 'Super Viper', Swedish Gripen (Saab), and Russian MiG-35 last month.
France is also providing Indian navy Scorpene submarines under a contract worth Rs 23,562-crore and is looking to sign a deal for the upgrade of the 51 Mirage-2000 H fighters. This upgrade package will cost India about Rs 11,000 crore.
