rhne de dada ...
Sure, but then a broken clock is right twice a day
I'm sorry but looking at Antony's term holistically I can't but despise the man. He got Indians killed for incredibly trivial reasons i.e. he wanted to protect his "image", this is totally unforgivable.
Sir is it 108 +18 (orig mmrca) + 36 OR 108 + 36?

Looks like they are part of this 36 leaving 108 to be built in India and this is now what talks will be centred on.
36+108=144 (with the option for 63 more).

Marking a breakthrough in the protracted talks in the French Rafale jet deal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced that India will purchase 36 of these fighter planes that are ready to fly, citing critical operational requirement of the IAF.
The announcement was made by Mr. Modi at a joint news conference with French President Francois Hollande after their summit talks at Elysee palace.
India and France were locked in negotiations for three years over the purchase of 126 Rafale fighter jets valued at 12 billion USD but has been bogged down over cost and Dassault Aviation’s reluctance to stand guarantee for 108 planes to be made by state-run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
“Keeping in mind critical operational necessity of fighter jets in India, I have talked to him(Hollande) and requested for 36 Rafale jets in fly-away condition as quickly as possible under government-to-government deal,” Mr. Modi said.
An agreement on proceeding forward on the stalled nuclear project in Jaitapur in Maharashtra was among the 17 pacts signed after the talks between Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande.
The Jaitapur project, where French company Areva is to set up six nuclear reactors with total power generation capacity of about 10,000 MW, is stuck for long because of differences over the cost of electricity to be generated.
The agreement between India’s Larsen and Toubro and France’s AREVA is aimed at cost reduction by increasing localisation, to improve financial viability of Jaitapur project.
Another pact related to Pre-—engineering agreements between NPCIL and AREVA in connection with studies that is intended to bring clarity on all technical aspects of the plant so that all parties(AREVA, ALSTOM and NPCIL) can firm up their price and optimise all provisions for risks still included at this stage in the costs of the project.
It will also enable transfer of technology and development of indigenous nuclear energy industry in India.
France also informed India of its decision to implement a scheme for expedited 48 hours visa issuance for Indian tourists.
“There is no such sphere where India and France are not cooperating. France is among India’s most valued friend,” Mr. Modi said.
France also announced an investment of 2 billion euros (about $1 billion) in India as Mr. Modi invited French companies to pump in money in technology in the fastest growing economy.
France will invest 2 billion euros in India, Hollande announced at a CEO forum here.
Inviting French investors, Mr. Modi said, “There is no bigger market than India. It is also the fastest growing economy since the last six months. Various rating agencies like World Bank and Moodys have said in one voice that India is the fastest growing nation.
“It is rare to find a country with a market, with the government determined on development and demographic dividend.
Investors are usually worried about the security of intellectual property (IP). Only democracies like India can guarantee that,” he said.
Addressing a CEOs forum, Mr. Hollande said: “We are ready to allocate through French companies 2 billion euros to support India’s sustainable development.”
He said France will partner India in Urban development of infrastructure like railways and defence and nuclear sector.
Modi has ‘Naav Pe Charcha’ with French President
Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande enjoyed a joint boat cruise on La Seine river here which was described as “Naav Pe Charcha” (chat on the boat).
MR. Hollande was seen giving details to Mr. Modi about various areas as the boat cruised through the river.
Many people enjoying a boat ride in the river at that time were seen waving at the dignitaries, including French ministers.
The two leaders had the boat ride after their detailed discussions, focusing on cooperation in the areas of civil nuclear energy, defence, space and trade.
Mr. Modi is visiting France in the first leg of his nine-day three-nation tour that will take him to Germany and Canada also.
It was the first time that Modi had ‘Naav Pe Charcha’ with any world leader.
Earlier, Mr. Modi has had ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ (chat over tea) with some world leaders, including US President Barack Obama during his visit to New Delhi in January and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the Indian leader’s visit to that country last year.
The concept of ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ came to be known during Modi’s campaign for Lok Sabha polls last year. During that, he used ‘Chai Pe Charcha’ as an election plank.
