France has submitted the final price offer to India for the 26 Rafale Marine Jet deal just ahead of the scheduled visit of Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to the country.

The Indian Navy is now one step closer to getting Rafale fighter jets to operate off the deck of its aircraft carriers, INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya.

PM Modi France visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will focus on strengthening India-France ties in various domains including defence and space during his two-day visit to Paris.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi heads to France on Thursday to deepen ties with New Delhi's oldest strategic partner in the West, with a slew of high-profile defence deals expected and a new joint plan to ensure stability in the Indo-Pacific.

In a major development, India is planning to buy 26 Rafale fighter aircraft and three Scorpene class conventional submarines from France.

Eyeing the Indian Navy's carrier-borne fighter jet deal, France sent a Rafale maritime fighter aircraft to a naval facility in Goa on Thursday to demonstrate its combat capabilities.

France is ready to provide additional Rafale jets to India if it requires, French Defence Minister Florence Parly said while noting that the use of the same aircraft by the two strategic partners is a reflection of "real asset and strength" in ties.

Iran on Monday accused France of "destabilising" the Gulf region after Paris signed a record 14-billion-euro deal with the United Arab Emirates for 80 Rafale fighter jets.

NDTV has found more evidence that Indian agencies ignored allegations that French company Dassault may have paid crores of rupees to middlemen spanning both the BJP-led NDA 1.0 government and the Congress-led UPA.

French plane-maker Dassault paid early Rs 110 crore in bribes to a middleman to help secure the sale of Rafale fighter jets to India and Indian agencies failed to investigate it despite access to incriminating documents, French portal Mediapart said.

A day after a French judge ordered a probe into alleged "corruption and favouritism" in the Rs 59,000-crore Rafale deal with India, the Congress on Sunday hit out at the Narendra Modi government over its silence on the matter.

The controversy over the Rafale jet deal has resurfaced with the Congress party seeking a joint parliamentary committee investigation after a French judge has been appointed to lead a "highly sensitive" judicial probe.

A fresh batch of three Rafale Jet fighters left for India, the Indian embassy in France has informed. The fifth set of these planes had arrived late in April after flying 8,000 kilometres non-stop.
