CAG says high-end tech transfer in Rafale offsets not completed; proposal being processed

NEW DELHI: In a report referring to the Rafale fighter jet deal, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has pointed out that the transfer of high-end technology as part of the offsets deal had not been completed, and said it was not clear if it would even take place in the future.

In its report on defence offsets that was prepared last year but tabled in Parliament on Wednesday, the central auditor has not gone into details of private partners for the Rafale contract, as the defence ministry informed it that the first such commitment had to be completed only by September this year.
