well both the govt. and and the IAF tries its best ;
but this is what happens

yes, I read this entry recently. It's clearly not easy to break up a monopoly when they have entrenched lobbyist inside the gov't. But in the end, if IAF wants to have a healthy domestic aerospace industry, it has to break up the monopoly or stop protectionism. Or else, HAL will be content on locally producing foreign aircraft for eternity. But even if this continues, I think India has plenty of money for domestic projects. It's been buying Russian aircraft for years and Tejas has not been cancelled. How is Rafale going to be any different?
