As expected, India and France set up an intergovernmental committee to finalize the Rafales - a deal the first 36 . The outright purchase of 36 Rafales will be much cheaper than the fighters planned in the original MMRCA project since the latter involved transfer of technology to produce 108 of the 126 jets in India by Hindustan Aeronautics. The agreement for the purchase of the 126 fighter aircraft will be signed after the committee has completed its work. There remains a big question mark over whether India will go ahead with original plans to buy further Rafale total of 36 were originally agreed
