While Dassault will try it's best to rip off India again, Boeing would try it's best to gain entry to the Indian fighter market. Even if Boeing makes zero profit from SH sale, it would still make sense for it in the long-term.

DRDO's FMBT programme doesn't seem to be backed by the Army. The Army wants FRCV (which is similar to Armata).

I hope DRDO does not end up wasting it's time again; building a good tank and having no buyer.
