So as per broadsword... if European make into final zone... then Griphen will win because of L1... Otherwise Finance Ministry is simply going to say no if other Fighter is chosen.. it is getting f***ing complex

Let's not rule out the Yanks so fast. MMS is still the PM.
And Shuklaji can't be fully trusted either.

Uncertainty over MMRCA time-frame
India's highly-anticipated medium multi-role combat aircraft competition could be wrapped up by September, Indian air force chief PV Naik said at a press conference yesterday.
But industry observers believe that his statement was aimed at pushing the defence ministry into accelerating the decision making process.
"We submitted our report to the ministry in end-July [2010]. Thereafter, there were many queries and counter-queries. Many of the hurdles have been crossed and we believe the price negotiations will begin in a week or two. I'm hopeful of a decision by September," says Naik.
However, he added a caveat, saying that "dissatisfied vendors" may try to jeopardise the process. "You know how it is. Others may try to put a spoke in the wheel. And if that happens, everything takes its own course."
Observers say that senior air force officials are unhappy that the ministry's lengthy decision making process is affecting the service's operational readiness. They add that the six MMRCA contenders have also not submitted their offset documents - a requirement under India's military procurement process.
Price negotiations could also take months, they add, pointing to lengthy discussions between India and other countries like Russia and France for various procurements and upgrades.
The six contenders are the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, Lockheed Martin F-16IN, RSK MiG-35 and Saab Gripen IN. Some officials from the companies at the show expect India to make a decision within the next year.
A Boeing official sparked debate among the competitors at the show by predicting that three twin-engine aircraft will make the shortlist. Lockheed Martin and Saab were both quick to promote the through-life cost benefits of a single-engine design.

And I can assure that this is a 100% certainty. 6 vendors in the fray, only 1 can win and $10 Billion on the line. It just don't get more certain than this.

Aircraft deal: IAF fears bid losers may complain to CVC
10 Feb, 2011, 03.21PM IST,PTI
BANGALORE: India is just about a month or two away from deciding the winner of the $10.4-billion contract for 126 combat aircraft, but the Indian Air Force (IAF) is afraid the losers among the six bidders for the deal might derail the process of quick acquisition by knocking on the corruption watchdog's doors.
The purchase process, which is at a very mature stage, is all set for the cost negotiation stage that will be decided in a week or two and the final winner for signing the contract would be decided by September, Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik told a press conference here Thursday at the AeroIndia show at Yelahanka air base.
"But some dissatisfied vendor among those not chosen for cost negotiations may put a spoke in the wheel and derail the process by going to the central vigilance commissioner with complaints leading to a delay, though we want to quickly sign the contract," Naik said.
American aerospace majors Boeing and Lockheed Martin , Russian MiG-RAC, Swedish Saab, French Dassault and European consortium EADS are in the race for the deal whose tender was issued in August 2007.
The IAF completed the flight and weapons evaluation of the six contending aircraft F-16, F/A-18, MiG-35, Gripen, Rafale and Eurofighter Typoon last year and submitted its report to the defence ministry, which is studying the capabilities of all the planes.
When the cost negotiation stage is reached, the government is expected to call only one of the six companies for talks, thereby signalling that the other five firms are out of contention.
Asked about the delay in finalising the winner for the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal, whereas the IAF had carried out a quick and smooth flight and weapons evaluation, Naik said since the six aircraft were evaluated on 600 technical points, there were several queries and counter-queries from the defence ministry requiring a lot of education.
Defence Minister A.K. Antony said Wednesday that there would be no political interference in the MMRCA deal and that the winner would be chosen on merits and capabilities of the competing aircraft.
Antony said that the government would not be prejudiced against or in favour of any country but would go by the evaluation report of the IAF.
