It only has one advantage over Talwar i.e. more space. Now this can be attributed to more fuel,more officers,etc but it will be less agile and will be more fuel consuming.
Talwar class is still the best frigate IN operates. You won't see them during exercise with USN for a reason, they are real stealth frigates. Why do you think IN stopped at 3 Shiwaliks and going for 6+4 Talwar class ?

Two of them already completed 90%, only engine refitting is required. Rest two will be manufactured asap, as everything starting from design, engine, steel ,etc is ready for construction. In short HSL will only assemble if they don't go for domestic company.

Indian Navy: Indian Navy ropes in Sterlite Tech to deploy secure digital network
NEW DELHI: Vedanta group’s Sterlite Tech, a digital networks and telecom solutions company Tuesday said it has bagged Rs 3,500-crore worth Indian Navy deal to design, build, operate and maintain the latter’s digital network.
We have been awarded the confirmed Purchase Order (PO) for designing, building and managing the Indian Navy’s digital network, the Pune-based network and services major in a statement said.
The Rs 3,500-crore project is a multi-year contract, which, according to the company, would include design, execution, operations and maintenance of the Navy Digital Network.
The company will build a robust integrated communications network that would provide a secure, reliable and seamless digital highway to the Indian Navy for administrative and defence operations.
This network will give the Indian Navy digital defence supremacy at par with the best naval forces in the world, Sterlite which also manufactures optic-fibre cable domestically, said.
The initiative includes creation of an independent high-capacity end-to-end communications network, linking multiple Indian naval sites and India-administered islands, and includes setting-up of highly secure data centres and Big Data content delivery software-defined next-generation networks.
“This is the first time an integrated end-to-end digital network at such a scale is being built in India, empowering the Indian Navy to secure our borders till the farthest posts in India,” Anand Agarwal, Group CEO, Sterlite Tech said.
Agarwal also said that the technology will enable the Indian Navy to ride new-age applications with advanced security solutions while bringing real-time situational awareness and faster decision making.
Sterlite Tech, according to the company has a proven expertise and experience in building intrusion-proof smarter networks and is already building network for spectrum program (NFS) with the state-run telco BSNL and the defence ministry.
“The digital network initiative will also position our navy for future-readiness, prepare for network virtualisation, Big Data analytics, and customised enterprise applications,” the top executive added.

India is actually going for 7 more upgraded Shivalik under P 17A class. The extra space is for future upgrades and command facilities.

You should google to see the difference between P-17 Shivalik and P-17A. P-17A is not upgraded version of Shivalik but a completely different ship.
P17A is built to carry more warheads for air defense, it is more stealthy, it will be heavier & lengthier than P17. Main gun on P17A will be 127 mm Oto melara unlike 76 mm on P17.
This is the display model :
Now lets see whether the naval designer are able to stick with the targets, if they do then it will be a good ship otherwise expect more imported Russian frigate in IN.

The hull on both the ships are the same. Just like Delhi Class destroyers have evolved into Kolkata Class and Kolkata Class into Visakhapatnam Class all based on same hull, Shivalik Class has evolved into P 17A based on same hull.
Already 2 ships are U/C with 1 due in 2022 and another 2023. In Russian deal, we get 2 incomplete hulls refurbished and refitted to Brahmos and VLS Shtil SAM and 2 more built by HSL here in Goa.

INS Vikramaditya completes ₹705-cr refit
Cochin Shipyard performs second refit of India’s only aircraft carrier
India’s only aircraft carrier INS Vikarmaditya is set to sail from the Kochi port on October 23 for basin trials before returning to its home port at Karwar after undergoing a five-month refit at a cost of ₹705 crore at the Cochin Shipyard.
This was the second refit of the carrier since its induction into the Indian Navy in 2013. Both refits were performed by the Cochin Shipyard. “It’s a short refit, but the Navy planned it in such a way that the underwater work package of the next refit – a longer maintenance routine to be conducted in 2020 or 2021 – was also taken up along with this. This means that the carrier is not required to be dry-docked for the next five-six years,” Captain Puruvir Das, commanding officer of Vikramaditya, told The Hindu on the sidelines of a media visit to the carrier now docked at the Kochi port.
“The carrier’s hull got treated and painted. We have a large number of tanks and spaces which got cleaned and painted too. Then we had some work on the shafts – the carrier has four of them. In floating condition, a diver goes down and measures the health of the shafts with some gauges, but they are fully checked when dry-docked. We had found during routine check-ups that some temperature readings of the shafts were going high, so we had to dry-dock to check the condition of the bearings. That’s been done now,” Capt Das said.
Sources said 16 of the 25 shaft bearings were changed as part of the refit.
“When the carrier is alongside the jetty (that’s right now), the shafts will be turned at very low RPM to see if everything is rotating properly and once we are out at sea, higher revolutions will be done. There will be a large number of workers of the Cochin Shipyard as we go out for the trials to attend to any possible issues. Once it is over, they will return by boat and we will proceed to Karwar,” he said.
He said the Navy was looking at various options for berthing the vessel for its next major maintenance – the normal refit that would come around 2020-21.
Docking space
“First, we need a docking space and you need depths. Karwar is suitable for us. Then you need the vendor base, which is well-established in Kochi. But the problem is that we will occupy this berth, the Ernakulam Wharf (at the port) for a long period. It isn’t a naval port. Dredging up the channel is another issue. But the Navy is looking at it all and will take a call in a month or two,” he said.
Captain Das also pointed out that the air wing of Vikramaditya was full-fledged right now and that the carrier would be in Goa in November for flying operations. Over the last 10 days, nearly 16,000 people visited the carrier.

HSL to engage global firm to construct five Fleet Support Ships
To roll out first vessel in four years
After its plan to tie-up with global shipbuilding giant Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd of South Korea ran into rough weather, Hindustan Shipyard Limited has launched an exercise to scout for collaboration with an internationally-acclaimed firm to design and construct five Fleet Support Ships (FSS) for the Indian Navy at a total estimated cost of ₹9,500 crore.
Highly-placed sources told The Hindu that HSL, a Ministry of Defence Enterprise, rejected the Hyundai’s terms as it wanted the upper hand in construction of five FSS.
Indigenous construction
The MoD has already approved the project to entrust the job of construction of FSS to HSL, a premier shipyard set up in Visakhapatnam in 1941.
When contacted, HSL Chairman and Managing Director Rear Admiral L.V. Sarat Babu confirmed that they had started the process for finalising a world-class collaborator to expedite the construction of FSS.
“As we didn’t agree to the conditions laid down by Hyundai for the joint venture project, now we have issued Request for Proposal (RFP) from global players for collaborating with us to construct all the five vessels indigenously for the first time in our country under Make in India initiative,” he said.
The shipyard will deliver the first FSS in four years from the date of signing the contract and take up construction of other ships simultaneously.

What is happening with the torpedoes for the Scorpene class? And why is P15B taking so long? Same question for P17A. And considering the urgent need for Subs, when can we expect P-75i to start construction? All these things have been on the board for the past 15 years at least with minimal progress except with the construction of scorpene class.

India inks $950 million deal for Russian frigates
Russia has inked a $950 -million deal to supply two new warships to India that will be equipped with Brahmos missiles to add to the firepower of the Navy. The two frigates of the Project 11356 class will be bought directly from Russia and a contract to build two more at an Indian yard is likely to be signed at a later stage.
Sources told ET that while final clearances for the long-pending project came before the summit earlier this month between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the deal was signed last week after price negotiations.
Given that the US has implemented sanctions on weapons purchases from Moscow, India could make payments for the ships using the rupee-rouble route. The deal — under a ‘2+2’ scheme where technology will be transferred to an Indian shipyard to construct two of the frigates from scratch — has been in the works since 2015.
The two ships to be brought from Russia are expected to be delivered by 2022, given that the hulls have already been fabricated for a Russian navy order that got stalled following the Ukrainian crisis. The ships have been designed to work with Ukraine-made gas turbines.
The two frigates are likely to be brought to India after construction to fit the gas turbines at a local yard as the order for turbines has been placed directly by New Delhi with Ukraine, to bypass any complications given the Ukraine-Russian relations.
There had been initial discussions to involve the Indian private sector to build two of the ships but the government decided to nominate state-owned Goa Shipyard. It is not clear if the decision still stands or the ministry will follow a competitive process to determine the local partner.
The Goa Shipyard has been facing financial stress and has not been able to go ahead on an earlier order for new minesweeper vessels that are desperately needed by the Navy.
The process to acquire the minesweepers has been aborted twice and an attempt is now being made to issue tenders for the project.
