It seems to me that they bought the F-16 too much recently to shift to Rafale now.

I agree with your post, and it's a good indication. But we don't know what will be the use of this 36 first planes. It seems that MODI was able to ask for them without the Parikar agreement because it was for SFC. In this case perhaps India will ask for more dual seaters.
