There were talks of ToT from US with this regard and transfer was to take place
First of all, the 2nd carrier is still indecisive. Second, even USN is using it in one carrier.

So in light of these two factors, it would be a costly affair for us to go for EMAL instead of conventional CATOBAR. IN would sure opt for conventional CATOBAR carrier next instead of going for an expensive EMAL one.

Perhaps once the tech matures it would become more clear what to choose, since it looks like INS Vishal is delayed anyway.

Yes, EMALS is not mature now but it will be on the future
By the time even keel is laid for Vishal it'll be atleast 2030 ;(
So EMALS will be feasible at the time
Meanwhile churning out one or more IAC flattop copies with CATOBAR like French Charles de Gaulle would be great, but those are just my wet dreams

Some update.

1. Electrical heavy weight torpedo,
a new generation torpedo that can
be launched from both ships and
submarines for anti-submarine warfare is under development.

2. Jalastra, a medium weight torpedo capable of being launched from naval platforms, is also under development.

3. DRDO is developing a universal
vertical launcher capable of launching
all the indigenous missiles onboard
Indian Naval Ships.

4. DRDO is in advanced stage of
development of submarine periscope.
Submarine hoistable masts for
periscope, radar and communication
antennae are also being developed.

5. The long range anti-ship missile
is a land launched medium-range anti￾ship missile, which will be able to
target naval surface targets.

6. Astra Mk-2 with two-pulse
propulsion is being developed to
further enhance the kill zone of Astra
Mk-1 missile. Astra Mk-2 will achieve
a longer kill range, one of the highest
amongst all air-to-air beyond visual
range missiles available across the
world thus far. To further increase
the ‘kill range’ to nearly double of the
Mk-2 and ensure the wider ‘no escape
zone’, DRDO has successfully tested
and validated the solid fuel ducted
ramjet propulsion technology.

7. The New Generation Main Battle
Tank (NG-MBT) is envisaged as the
futuristic MBT of the Indian Army.
It will be a medium tank powered by
1500 HP engine and armed with a
125 mm smoothbore gun. Allelectric
turret drive, explosive reactive armour
and active protection system are being
developed for the new generation of
tanks.
