The fourth batch of the Rafale jets arrived in India on Wednesday evening after flying non-stop from France. The three jets were refueled mid-air over UAE.

India is to receive 36 Rafale jets from France's Dassault Aviation. The first batch of five planes arrived in July last year, four years after the agreement.

A second batch of three Rafale jets came in India on November 3 last year, while a third batch of three more jets joined arrived in India on January 27 this year.

A formal induction of the fleet took place last September at Ambala.
