So what about Pakistan, if PRC got control over Gadwar port and pass logistic transport through land route?
Gadwar port is not yet final.

Let us assume, They finalise. The Ratio between Gadwar and our western Fleet will be 1:10. PN don't have single Destroyers, Aircraft carrier and no Nuclear submarine BM. We also be adding Various SAMs and ABM too later. China is smart, They will not indulge in any kind of direct war like situation with India. Only Proxy to divert India in 2 way.

Let me put it this way, an Indian carrier venturing into south china sea is more safer than a chinese carrier (in the future) venturing into India. For one, it will be difficult for a Chinese Task Force to cross Malaccas and come into our region. Who can the the Chinese bank on? Sri Lankans? Burmese? Do they compare with Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Phillipines who all have a problem with China? Do the Sri Lankans have any problems with India in the broader sense like territorial disputes nor do the Burmese. Any future alliances will certainly be more painful for the chinese.
I'm starting to dislike the Lankans Yusuf. It took us 20 days to find out what was happening. And yet it somehow doesn't surprise me. We have inconsistency in both, the surveillance and our foreign policy.

In any case if they do, we'll have to leverage Chabahar sitting like a competing twin to Gwadar port. We may not get as open co-operation from Iran as the Chinese would get from Pakistan, however an alternative must be prepared for contingencies.
OK lets go back to south east Asia, OT already.

SL won't indulge in kind of proxy against India (Even if they don't like India or say We don't like each other after 1,000's of brutal tamil killing).

Bangladesh is real future threat. We are keeping her (hasina) in good humour, so that Pakistan can't play Pan Muslim Card. But, IMO sooner or later, BD could be backstabber. I have serious concern on that.

0 as of now, It will be inducted in 2014. It will be operated by INS Arihant. It's not yet inducted. INS Arihant
I know mate and it ll become operational by 2018 only. Missile causes very little damage unless its nuclear, what matters is troops in the ground.

I meant Naval vessels away from homeland are not safe.

Not really, It's sea version of Agni-3. It will be inducted once INS Arihant will be inducted (2014 or 2015) 2nd submarine INS Arindham will be also inducted by 2016. Both K-4,K-5 will be MiRV as per past report.

Obviously, K-15,K-4,K-5 all are Nuke capable.

Both Agni and K are different. Agni is a ballistic missile, K type is a hybrid of cruise and ballistic.

We are not going to launch nuke first.
