In fresh revelations in the Rafale deal, French newspaper Le Monde reported that Anil Ambani's French-registered telecom company was given tax waivers worth €143.7 million by local authorities, shortly after the announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to buy 36 Rafale jets in fly away condition.

According to the newspaper, Ambani's telecom company "Reliance Atlantic Flag France" was investigated by French tax authorities and found liable to pay €60 million between 2007 and 2010.
