India is set to discuss a ₹3.25 lakh crore deal for the acquisition of 114 Rafale fighter jets from France in a high-level Defence Ministry meeting. The proposal includes the delivery of 12-18 jets in fly-away condition, aims for over 30% indigenous production, and plans for the integration of Indian weapons. If approved, this deal would expand India's Rafale fleet to 176 jets and establish a maintenance facility for M-88 engines in Hyderabad.
