France has made its biggest defence offer ever to India. Dassault Aviation has formally submitted a ₹3.25 lakh crore proposal under the Indian Air Force's Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft programme—and the biggest surprise isn't the number of jets.

Safran, Thales and MBDA are also expected to integrate Indian companies into their global supply chains.

Is this India's biggest Make in India defence opportunity yet? Watch the complete analysis.
