The Indian Air Force's current acquisition plan is reaching critical decisions. The Indian Air Force plans to purchase 114 fighter jets, 96 of which will be constructed in India and the remaining 18 would be acquired from a foreign vendor.
Most aircraft manufacturers will not commit to build a few aircraft in any country. However, as Dassault previously stated, they will plan to build in India if they receive a minimum of 100 aircraft. Other manufacturers may follow a similar investment and technology transformation plan.
The Indian Air Force intends to purchase 114 Multirole Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) under the 'Buy Global, Make in India' scheme, which allows Indian firms to collaborate with foreign firms.
