The trials, which begins on Jan. 6, is to determine whether the French fighter is a good fit for Indian aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. Testing will last 12 days.
The same article says India might lease up to five Rafale Ms when INS Vikrant is commissioned later this year.
Boeing will be next when it sends its Super Hornet to INS Hansa for similar trials in March.
