India had been approached as a possible customer for the Jaguar as early as 1968, but had declined, partly on the grounds that it was not yet clear if the French and British would themselves accept the aircraft into service.
India bola oslovená ako potencionálny zákazník nákupu lietadiel Jaguar už v roku 1968, ale odmietla, čiastočne preto, že nebolo jasné či Francúzsko a Spojené kráľovstvo prijmú lietadlo do svojich služieb.
