The $45 Million includes the cost of spares, training, ToT, and industrial cost for upgrades.

And we already have the infrastructure for the Mirage-2000 in the country, apart from trained manpower, which will end up being underutilized and wasted. We also have the only overhaul facility for the Mirage-2000 outside of France. It doesn't make sense to discard everything when the Mirages have another 25 years to give.

No matter how you put it, at $45 million it is simply not cost effective . You still have older airframe with all of its limitations. IMHO , India elected to upgrade Mirage-2000 and Jaguar because they are used as nuclear weapons carriers , at least until Rafale arrives (if and when) .

The MoD originally cancelled the EUR750 million (USD1.03 billion) deal on 1 January on grounds of corruption. On 29 July Italian investigators announced they were clearing Finmeccanica of any wrongdoing relating to the 2010 procurement.​

Now we are a step closer to be able to launch heavy military communication and spy satellites.

The new launch vehicle is capable of orbiting 4 tonne class communication satellites to geo stationary orbits (GTO) at 36000 km, and will end India's reliance on the European Ariane 5 launcher.
