Rafale deal: CAG says Dassault Aviation, MBDA yet to fulfil obligation
Dassault Aviation and MBDA are yet to fulfil their offset obligations of offering high technology to India as part of the deal relating to procurement of 36 Rafale jets, the Comptroller and Auditor General said in a report released on Wednesday.
Dassault is the manufacturer of the Rafale jets while MBDA supplied the missile systems for the aircraft.
In its report tabled in Parliament, the CAG also painted a grim picture of efficacy of India’s offset policy saying it did not find a single case of foreign vendors transferring high technology to the Indian industry, adding defence sector ranked 62nd out of 63 sectors receiving FDI.
