Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

India has designed , constructed and operated large FSS before. .Meanwhile Turkey has operated ZERO such ships...let alone designed.
This has to be some joke.

Exactly, MOD must be high on something while giving this deal to an enemy country.

Ok. Here comes the weird ass observation. For our Frigates we are using CODAG Propulsion method where a Diesel and Marine Gas Turbine working together.

In Nigiri Class Frigate - We have LM 2500+ and MAN Diesel Engine. The MAN Diesel engine a power output of 7500 HP approx. Now surprisingly we have another sector where we have large diesel engines are being used.

INDIAN RAILWAYS

We have diesel engines of output up to 6500 HP. If somehow possible we can try to use this Diesel engines as Marine propulsion units. This will encourage to utilize existing tech within India and also may help some companies to setup proper marine Diesel engine ecosystem.

Experts can shed some light.

Banaras Locomotive Works to build engines for marine boats

Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi, Indian Railways production unit, is planning to produce engines of marine boats. "We are also looking for a market for BLW engines in the shipping industry. For the first time we have approached 14 shipyards, the Inland Waterways Authority of India and...

Nice. Due to Railways moving to all Electric this will be a good avenue.

Actually we need to transition to hydrogen based engine,it will be next big thing

It will take decades to come. But for current purpose this is a good one.

Yeah and no , we will see hydrogen based ships in 10 years

 

[Blademaster]

Yeah and no , we will see hydrogen based ships in 10 years

yes for commercial shipping but for naval ships? That is at least a good 30 years away.

2. INS Vagir will be accepted by IN this month and will be commissioned next month.
3. Nilgiri class will start getting commissioned from 2023 onwards.
4. 45 warships are under construction.
5. Contract for 39 warships will most probably signed next year.
6. Further 25 warships are also in the pipeline.

Any update on submarines?

Any update on submarines?

P-75I? The tender has been extended till August 2023.

No i mean other submarines s4, s5 class and ssn project
Not getting any update on that

How will you get updates on them? They are black projects.

The last update I got was S-3 will be commissioned next year, S4 is in water and S4* is in advanced stages of construction.

39 warships signed in the next 1 year? 8 goes to NGCs, and 6 for NGMVs. Where did the remaining 25 come from?

Back in 90's. There is something called cost evaluation of a project. INS Aditya was a 24k ton displacement oiler whereas IN is looking at double of that now. Means after more than 2 decades, we have to reinvent the wheel along with a huge investment.
Fun fact is, the tender was in buy global category and none of Indian shipbuilder responded to it.

S4 has already been launched, either in final outfitting phases or sea trials.
S5 class is a black project, continuation of the ATV project, its supposed to begin construction in 2023, that is the only known thing about it.
SSN project is another black project

5 NGD
7 Nilgiri class frigate repeat
6 NGMV
8 NGC
11 NGOPV

That counts to 37 warships for construction, I am still missing 2.

 

[Fatalis]

05 FSS
06 NGMV
11 NGOPV
07 NGFAC
01 NHS
06 High Speed Landing Crafts
03 ???(I am not sure but probably Cadet Training Ships)

Highly unlikely to have NGD, NGC and P-17AU signed before 2024-2025.

 

[v952010]

did u count the Talwar class frigates built in russia ? Project 11356 10 were to be built , the stupid Russians laid them in 2013 they are almost 10 years in the making of Tushil and Tamala
