Factually incorrect: Govt on report claiming 41% rise in Rafale cost

The Defence Ministry on Friday called a news report 'factually incorrect' which said the government's decision to buy only 36 Rafale fighter jets increased the price of each aircraft by 41%. The MoD said the issues raised by the article, which compared the 2007 un-escalated price with 2016 price, have been answered by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Parliament.
