The fate of the 2007 request for proposals (RFP), which had a provision to buy 18 Rafales directly and another 108 made in India, is still not known.No MoD official would comment whether there would be Indian-made Rafales or whether the RFP would be canceled.
The funny part would be if India bought 36 'French-priced' Rafales that Dassault actually manufactured in India, only after they cancelled MRCA.
