Correct Answer:
B. 114
Correct answer: 114. India’s Defence Acquisition Council gave its approval on 12 February 2026 for 114 more Rafale jets from France.
Background: The approval is a first step; the final government-to-government contract was still being negotiated.
- 36: 36 is the number of Rafales India ordered earlier, in 2016.
- 130: 130 is not the number approved.
- 150: 150 would be the total fleet size if the deal goes ahead.
Did you know? France submitted its formal offer in August 2026.
Memory trick: Rafale 2026: 114 more.
