During his visit, Prime Minister Modi will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss a broad range of issues, including joint production of military platforms, the prospective purchase of Rafale-Marine (Rafale M) fighter jets for the Indian Navy's indigenously-made INS Vikrant aircraft carrier, nuclear reactors, and deeper cooperation in space, among others.
Sanjay Bhandari has claimed that the French company owes over 92 crores to him for a defence transaction signed in India a decade ago, during the UPA regime.
It’s a small gesture, but a strong assertion of identity. India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh performed Shastra Puja right before taking ownership of Rafale fighter jet.
