Why Modi Wants to Build the Rafale Jet in India |
This is historic! For the first time ever, the Rafale Fighter Jet could be manufactured outside France, and India wants to build 96 of the proposed 114 Rafale Jets under a massive Rafale Deal worth nearly Rs 3.25 lakh crore. This Latest Defence News has become one of the biggest stories in Indian Defence News and World News, raising a crucial question: Is India transforming from a buyer of Fighter Jets into a global defence manufacturing power?

During PM Modi's visit to France, both nations elevated their ties to a "Special Global Strategic Partnership." The proposed Rafale India programme aims to manufacture most of the Fighter Jet fleet domestically, potentially with support from HAL and other Indian companies. The Indian Air Force currently operates 36 Rafale aircraft, while the IAF is also set to induct 26 naval variants. If the new Rafale Deal is approved, India could eventually operate more than 170 Rafale Fighter Jet platforms.

This Indian Defence Update comes at a crucial time. The Indian Air Force Rafale fleet is seen as essential to bridge the IAF's fighter squadron shortage amid challenges posed by India Vs Pakistan and India Vs China. The lessons of Operation Sindoor, as well as concerns about a future India Pak War scenario, have reinforced the need for advanced Fighter Jets capable of carrying cutting-edge weapons and ensuring strategic deterrence.

But defence is only one part of the story. India and France are also partnering in Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors and space technologies, reducing dependence on foreign tech ecosystems.
