Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft

The Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition, also known as the MRCA tender, was a competition to supply 126 multi-role combat aircraft to the Indian Air Force (IAF). The Defence Ministry has allocated ₹55,000 crore (US$8.5 billion) for the purchase of these aircraft, making it India's single largest defence deal

Requirements :

The IAF projected a requirement for about 126 aircraft in 2001, when the strength was at 39.5 squadrons (down from 45).

There is an option for an additional 74 aircraft.[26] Initial requirements appeared to be for a 20-ton class fighter aircraft with the Mirage 2000 as the strongest contender.
