What you think about this:

Indian Navy is currently building new aircraft carrier fleet which they do not yet have aircrafts. Dassault Aviation happens to have carrier version of Rafale available but Eurofighter consortium doesn't have such version of Typhoon.

Could this have played a role in decision?

(Their current aircraft carrier has 12 Mig-29Ks but I don't believe that Indians are going to acquire more of those. They also have carrier version of their indigenous light attack aircraft.)
