As per the said documents, India gained a commercial advantage due to changeover from Firm and Fixed Cost under the 126 MMRCA (Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft competition) proposal to indices based cost method for the deal of 36 Rafale jets. Under the 126 MMRCA proposal, the price was firm and fixed and computed at an annual escalation rate of 3.9%. However, a decision was taken to finalise the deal for 36 Rafale aircrafts at 2015 price levels on the basis of indices based escalation. The upper cap was taken as 3.5%.
