France's Rafale Clinches $ 10.2-Billion Indian MMRCA Deal

India chose on January 31, 2012 the French fighter aircraft Rafale over the Eurofighter Typhoon in the high-profile deal for the supply of 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA). It is the country's largest defence deal to date. Rafale fighters are manufactured by the French giant Dassault. It may be mentioned here that Dassault had faltered at the beginning of the bidding process, with the Indian Defence Ministry suggesting that Rafale was out of the race. However, the French aviation giant made a comeback and went on to win the bid.
