In the first batch price there was 2 bases accomodation, india spécific improvements, the support so as to give a 75% disponibility, weapons, training.Can India afford whopping £8B again for 36 Rafale
If you purchase another batch of 36, no need to adapt new air bases (*). the specific improvements are already paid. You don't need as much training because a pilots core will be existing in india to train rookies. The second batch of weapons may be lighter (and Astra will be adapted).
So for 36 planes it will cost more 5 billions than 8.
(*) : In france, the Saint Dizier air base hosts more than 36 bids....
