No need to write such long paragraphs. HSL won the bid fair and simple. No one was favoured, Hsl emerged as L1 bidder and they won, PERIOD. All ships are being made in India and only the design, technical assistance and certain machinery are coming from turkey.

Wasn’t that deal scrapped long ago?

pretty sure geopolitically is a no-go now with Turkey backing Pakistan to such a degree and spitting in the face of India wrt the Art 370 issue.
