Hope my Pipavav stocks pay up well, if only chota ambani does not screw up this company as well btw anyone got peeps into MoD's global maritime security landscape 2005-2030 report, which was in study for years now? It was pre-requisite for p75(i/ii) subs.

What design will they be using for new subs? Looks like hot air to me, not much to read here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Time to throw Amur proposal in dustbin. China is acquiring them from Russia. Oh and btw, new RFP is yet to be issued.

Tender is going to DCNS. File sitting in MoD itself tells that process is in its last leg. Issues concerning MDL & armament composition dispute is injecting whatever is said to be 'delay' AFAIK. Sent via Tapatalk from a galaxy far far away

Very true. However as per some reports, IN wants to use torpedo tubes for Brahmos ejection instead of VLS. They want to utilize vertical launchers only to take out ASW aircraft especially in case of P75-I. Brahmos corp is stubborn. They are pushing for VLS solution as Brahmos wont fit in tubes...

Scorpene production lines will be hot when we decide on P75A. Its very logical to extend the scorpene orders.

S1000's AIP is still theoretical.

S1000 did receive RFI iirc.

Major difference in keeping it separate imo is because of lack of mutual consensus between brahmos corp & IN. IN wants to keep vertical launchers only for taking out ASW aircrafts. However Brahmos corp proposes to use VLS for brahmos missiles for offensive role & keep torpedo tubes for defense...

P75B was initiated because of delay in original P75 (Scorpene) procurement. Some believe it to be another extension to RFP of P75A. However separate RFI was issued 10-11 months back to russian/european shipyards. With last 2 units of scorpene to be equipped with AIP, IN will have almost 10-11...

LOL No license to L&T unless MoD approves the deal. S1000 is one of the contenders for P75A & P75B. But the subs are on design boards only. IN will be betting a lot if we shortlist them. Also their AIP is not tested.

MDL along with few gentlemen from IN/DCNS recently briefed MoD highlighting 8 months gap in subsequent deliveries post 2013-14. They are targeting bigger order with GOI running out of options. New department created in IN to analyze such possibilities which includes adding more scorpenes.

P75 will only become extension of P75 with increasing orders for scorpene. After first 2 units, next deliveries will keep coming with 8 months gap.

Ofcourse floating tender is months away. Whats the surprise here? TOI's top defense source is as reliable as nothing!

IN & Brahmos Corp. are having two different views on Brahmos's induction it seems. Brahmos crop. is lobbying for having BrahMos pre-selected for the follow-on six SSKs. They are offering VLS solution. IN on the other hand isn't seems to be interested in Brahmos Corp's idea to utilize the...
