Why would anyone in their right mind want to do business with the Indian government? I'm not sure which is worse, the Rafale saga or the 155mm artillery sags, in terms of ridiculousness.
Not to mention the Indian A330MRTT saga, which has been dragging on now for 10 years....and they still haven't signed any deal.

Hope they have more luck with Rafale than they have had with PAK FA.

Yes, that's done - 36 aircraft as per today, options for 12 or 24.
They found back the pen.
A couple of years ago on pprune, some posters thought that the "Euro"fighter still had some chances- but India is a country facing serious challenges from neighbours, so they could not buy something unfinished and unproved.

A great day.
