    India's agreement to buy 126 Rafale fighter jets from France's Dassault Aviation is of the "highest priority" in India's budget for the upcoming financial year that begins in April, Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne said on Thursday.

    India picked the Rafale jet for exclusive negotiations over a year ago after a hotly contested bidding war with rival manufacturers, but is still to finalise the USD 10 billion deal.

    The deal would not be signed during a visit of French President Francois Hollande to India next week, a diplomatic source said on Wednesday.
