France has formally submitted its proposal for 114 Rafale jets, a $38 billion deal with 94 aircraft to be built in India. But this isn’t the first time India tried this. An earlier version of this exact deal collapsed in 2015, buried under corruption allegations, a change in government, and a bitter trust breakdown with HAL.
