Military offset
http://www.sps-aviation.com ISSUE 4 • 2018 15
as a political storm intensifies around india’s €7.
billion deal for 36 Rafale fighter jets from France, and substan-
tial fire focused through allegations of preferential corporate part-
nershipsfor the €4 billion in offsets that Dassault Aviation and its
partners need to execute, the Narendra Modi Government today
pushed out more information by way of an answer in Parliament.
The answer not only republished cost figures, with the important
disclaimer that these figures didn’t take into account the cost of
India-specific modifications, weapons and other services, but also
cleared the air on allegations over whether India’s apex Cabinet
Committee on Security was in the loop on the Rafale deal.
But as the government prepares to fight off in Parliament
what appears to be a dogged opposition attack on the deal,
Livefist has obtained access to the first comprehensive details
of France’s plans on what will easily be the most challenging
component of the Rafale deal: the offsets. Offsets involve invest-
ments and sourcing that companies manufacturing the Rafale
must make in India amounting to half of the deal’s €7.87 billion
value. The offsets are to be executed within seven years from
the time the deal was signed — by 2023, that is.
