Following an international competition launched by the Indian authorities, this decision comes after a successful trial campaign held in India, during which the Navy Rafale demonstrated that it fully met the Indian Navy’s operational requirements and was perfectly suited to the specificities of its aircraft carrier.
The Indian Navy’s 26 Rafale will eventually join the 36 Rafale already in service, which are giving full satisfaction to the Indian Air Force, making India the first country to make the same military choice as France by operating both versions of the aircraft to help consolidate its superiority in the air and on the seas and guarantee its sovereignty.

Defence: Continued cooperation on fighter aircraft and submarines following the order for 26 Rafale fighter jets and 3 Scorpène submarines in July 2023, and the delivery of the sixth Scorpène unit in January 2025. Strengthened cooperation on defence technologies between France’s Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
