World known Rafale Chopper deal case turned the Congress to search for a reason in the moon and the truth became an added value point for BJP on this Election time.
It was true that the NDA Government saved nearly Rs.12, 600 crore on purchasing Aircrafts while the UPA failed to do so, where the question arrised for an enquiry and a case on hearing in Supreme Court.
A document prepared by the ministry of defense and the Indian Air Force this year shows that the per unit price of Modi regime’s Rafales, after taking into account the cost of weapons, maintenance, simulators, repair support and technical assistance is Rs 1,646 crore while the ones negotiated for by the UPA would have come to Rs 1,705 crore.
The NDA government paid Rs 59,000 crore for 36 planes while the UPA had paid Rs 1.69 lakh crore. The NDA government thus saved Rs 59 crore per aircraft.
The aircrafts bought by NDA also has missiles such as the METEOR and the SCALP which were not included in the aircrafts bought by the UPA.
The total cost of 36 Rafales is Rs 59,262 crore whereas the 126 planes during the UPA time would have cost Rs 1, 72,185 crores as per the document.
Despite spending Rs 9,855 crore more on the India Specific Enhancements in the planes in the deal done by the Modi government, the cost of the planes is coming to Rs 59 crore less than the UPA price for each aircraft.
