All joking aside based on the unfortunate (and admittedly made for joking) faint...actually, the pricing on the F-35 is coming down...just as many of us on this forum forecast.
By 2020 you will get an F-35A with its engine below 100 million, closer to 90 million.
I am sure the Indians are considering it based on both its capabilities/stealth and its cost.
But time will tell.

That would be nice, but history shows features creep that make warplanes more expensive over time and not less. Maybe it'll be different this time...?
