PM Modi's France visit saw the two countries reportedly signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for building three additional Scorpene (Kalvari) class submarines, which was earlier mentioned in the joint India-France document. However, in the document's updated version—issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)—the MoU is missing. Moreover, there was no announcement on the procurement of Rafale-Marine jets, contrary to expectations.
