Defence Procurement Board, headed by the Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh today, okayed the proposal to acquire 114 Rafale fighter jets from French plane maker Dassault.
The purchase proposal will now be taken up for clearance at the level of the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh when he chairs the next Defence Acquisition Council, the apex decision making body of the MoD. The Cabinet Committee on Security, chaired by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to give a final nod.
India and France are looking to seal the deal for the jets in February when a meeting is scheduled between Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Rafale deal will not impact India's plans to make the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and the Light Combat Aircraft Tejas Mark-2, said sources. The AMCA is fifth Generation plane. The Tejas Mark-2 is planned to be multi-system upgrade over the existing order of 180 Tejas Mark-1A jets the MoD has placed with public sector plane maker Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. All the indigenous jets , their time line and budgeting has been planned separate from the 114 Rafale.
In September last year the Indian Air Force had moved a formal proposal to the Ministry of Defence seeking 114 more Rafale fighter jets as part of its multi-pronged plan to add more number of jets.
