Among contracts the country's top auditor reviewed was the deal to buy 36 Rafale jets from Dassault Aviation in 2016, for which the CAG has noted that the foreign vendor has "not confirmed the transfer of technology" to DRDO that "wanted to obtain Technical Assistance for indigenous development of engine (Kaveri) for the Light Combat Aircraft". The CAG noted that in April 2016, DRDO identified six new technologies to be obtained under offsets obligations, but "did not agree on transfer of five technologies, as most of them were not within the vendor's core competencies".
