Excuse me, but I don't agree.The next 90 odd rafales, if ordered, will be mostly produced in house by HAL just like they did with Sukhoi, no argument can be made with that, and Dassault wouldn't have any problem with that, because, by that time, they'd already have started a joint venture in India, this would be great more so for France, as the production cost would be less and they would earn much more profit.
Don't forget that they already are helping GTRE realize an uprated kaveri.
So far Dassault has made a JV with Reliance, not with HAL.
HAL has a bad reputation : Boeing stopped to give them door to produce due to quality problem. Delay is also a problem.
It's not Dassault that work with GTRE. It's SAFRAN.
I think HAL already has too much work to do not to want another program.
