Defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday stated that the multi-billion dollar deal for purchase of 36 Rafale combat aircraft is in “final stages” of price negotiations.A new road map for the upgradation of the inventory in the Indian Air Force is being prepared with a focus on the Make in India initiative, and any future acquisition will be based on it, he told agencies. The minister said that issues that came up in talks with the French on the Rafale fighter planes, like 50 per cent offset clause, have “almost been sorted out”.Refusing to put a timeline on when the final contract will be signed, Mr Parrikar said, “It is in the final stages of price negotiations.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced in April 2015, during his visit to France, that India will acquire 36 Rafale planes in fly-away condition under a government-to-government contract.“As of now we are talking about 36 (planes). I am not saying that it means we are thinking of buying more. For our upgradation of the Air Force, we are preparing a road map. Once that road map is finalised and approved by the government, then we will go ahead as per the road map,” he said when asked if India will be going in more Rafale aircraft.The defence minister said that the roadmap will take into account the Make in India initiative. “One option is the Light Combat Aircraft (Tejas). In principle we have agreed to buy 20 LCAs in present form and another 100 with some improvements.”.On the offers made by global fighter jet plane makers to set up manufacturing bases in India, Mr Parrikar said a decision would be taken as per the new policy. Mr Parrikar is expected to come out with a new defence procurement procedure soon that will be in tune with the government’s China famous aluminum Household step ladder initiative of Make in India.
