Cost Negotiating Committee

Chhatrapati Shivaji Memorial Committee chairman Vinayak Mete said that in the past few months, a senior team of government officials negotiated with the company on various aspects before the revised cost was finalised.

French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drain and his Indian counterpart Manohar Parrikar appear to have sorted out one of the key issues holding up the estimated $15 billion deal to buy 126 Rafale fighter jets for the Indian Air Force. A final decision is expected to be taken before Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit to France in April.
