Again same rant. Bhai Dassault has 72 offset partners in India that will work with them at different steps and reliance is just one of them and reliance wont be involved in making Rafale.  

Question is not whether Reliance will make Rafael or not, question is did Indian Govt UPA or NDA lobbied for reliance?

btw the SC wants to know how the govt selected Rafale.

 

The IAF wanted additional mirages in 2001, the requirement evolved into a major competition and an aircraft was finally selected in 2012 after years of analysis and negotiations. We then found it expensive and then ordered a few (36 instead of 126/200), which are yet to arrive. Now the court is curious, Ram kaun tha bhaiya.

 

I'm surprised given the state of things that we have an actual air Force with aircraft & squadrons.

Reliance , Dassault deal is worth 20k ,30k crore .do other companies also get this type of huge contract?

 

Don't you find it strange that ruined businessman who  lost much of his inherited fortune , is in huge debt and has no experience in defence got such big contract from such big company.Dassault must be stupid to choose such company

Yaaar, there are just two private brands who can be considered as serious partner to a defense company. Tata or Reliance.

 I think American choose Tata while French choose reliance. Baaki retarded discussion by congressman and media anchors can go on and on

Which private Company in India has? Which business is not in huge debt. Size of debt is directly proportional to size of enterprize

There is difference between a company that has debt and a ruined company who is facing several court cases and can't even repay its loan.

Mediapart quotes a presentation made by Dassault’s deputy chief executive officer Loik Segalen to the company’s staff representatives in Nagpur in May 2017 where he describes the Reliance partnership as “imperative and mandatory” to get the Rafale export contract to India.

The two key paragraphs from the Mediapart story are reproduced below, both in French and translated English.

“C’était une vraie fausse inauguration. Une « première pierre » symbolique posée sur du gazon prédécoupé, sous un chapiteau de circonstance, à Nagpur (centre de l’Inde), mais qui annonçait le début de la construction de la « future usine » Dassault-Reliance. Selon un document interne à Dassault obtenu par Mediapart, un haut cadre du groupe d’aviation avait expliqué aux représentants du personnel que la joint-venture était une « contrepartie », « impérative et obligatoire » pour décrocher le marché du Rafale.”

“It was truly a false inauguration. A symbolic ‘first stone’ was placed on pre-cut turf, under a [tent/capital] of circumstance, in Nagpur (central India), but it announced the beginning of construction of the ‘future factory’ of Dassault-Reliance. According to an internal Dassault documentobtained by Mediapart, a senior executive of the aviation group had explained to the staff representatives that the joint venture was a “trade-off” , “imperative and mandatory”to [obtain/take off] the market for Rafale.” [Emphasis added by The Wire].

The second paragraph, shown below, quotes the presentation made by Segalen.

Chez Dassault Aviation, selon un document obtenu par Mediapart, l’alliance avec Ambani a effectivement été présentée comme une « contrepartie » du contrat de vente des Rafale. Le directeur général délégué de Dassault Aviation, Loïk Segalen, l’a dit clairement le 11 mai 2017 lors d’une présentation de la joint-venture « Dassault Reliance Aerospace » de Nagpur aux élus du personnel : « Il était impératif et obligatoire pour Dassault Aviation, d’accepter cette contrepartie, afin d’obtenir le contrat export Rafale Inde », a déclaré le no 2 du groupe, selon un compte-rendu établi par les élus du person

At Dassault Aviation, according to a document obtained by Mediapart, the alliance with Ambani was indeed presented as a ‘trade-off’ for the Rafale contract of sales. Dassault Aviation’s deputy chief executive officer  Loïk Segalen said this clearly on May 11, 2017 during a presentation of the joint venture ‘Dassault Reliance Aerospace’ to staff representatives: “It is imperative and obligatory for Dassault Aviation to accept this [trade-off/counterpart] to obtain the export contract (for?) Rafale India,” declared the number 2 of the group, according to a report prepared by staff personnel.

In an ideal world ( eg, the US when it comes to defence contracts), this would be government favoritism and meddling. If this was the US, the Government would go ' hey we need new aircrafts - make a tech demonstrator, fly it around for the USAF and if they like it, you get trillions) - with Boeing, McDonell-Douglas, Lockheed Martin all falling over themselves to do exactly that. 

But this is not the ideal world. India is trying to develop ITS OWN aerospace industry. It wants local boys to learn from foreign boys and make their own stuff. So, how is the government SUPPOSED to do that, over top secret, sensetive technologies, etc. without specifically managing which company gets what contract to GROW the industry at home ?!

No wonder Modi is trying to divert attention by instigating violence in Kashmir & LOC and talking about fake surgical strikes like previous one. Talks against Pakistan sells like hot potato in India.

it should. they sponsor terrorism in Kashmir and have started 3 wars they've lost. Pakistan is lucky that Indian culture is soft enough for it to survive. If their neighbor were USA mentality people, Pakistan would be a few dismembered principalities by now.

Hindalco had no debt till last year iirc, HUL is debt free.Infosys has 0 debt. ITC, Zee Entertainment, Pidilite, WABCO India, Asian Paints, There are many more, it's just that people are not aware of many debt free companies in India. Also, there are lots of pvt companies with a very negligible debt. TCS has just 220 CR debt given its vast resources.
