The Eurofighter Consortium has also indicated that should India pick the Eurofighter for the MMRCA they would work on a Sea Typhoon for the Indian navy. Saab also touted the idea of Sea Grippen. Indian navy already operates Mig 29K not very different from the Mig 35s.

Here's the problem with the Eurofighter Typhoon: it was never designed with carrier operations in mind. The Rafale was designed that way (that's why the French Aeronavale operates the Rafale M), and as such, the Indian Navy if they buy the Rafale will already have a carrier-ready plane for the four aircraft carriers that the Indian Navy plans to field by 2020.
