India has the 'technical expertise and capability' to build nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and warships.
After the launch of the country's first indigenously built nuclear submarine, India has the 'technical expertise and capability' to build nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and warships, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar has said.
"We have the technical expertise and capability to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and warships of global standards," Kakodkar said on the sidelines of a function in Mumbai on Tuesday night.
"When the government asks us to build such ships, we will do it... we are confident that we can build even supply propelling energy for aircraft carriers," he said.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, while launching the nuclear-powered submarine 'INS Arihant' had said that the government would be sanctioning development of more such submarines.
Kakodkar said India will aim to set up 40GWe Light Water reactors between 2012 and 2020 and for that "we had to go for international cooperation."
"Once we do this, then the doubling of nuclear power generation capacity can be achieved through fast breeder reactors (FBRs) as these are important for our future thorium programme," he said.
India is also planning to set up 20 units of indigenous 700 MW of pressurised heavy water (PHWR) type reactor and the Centre has already agreed in principle for four such units for which site and environment clearances have been done, Kakodkar said.

Nuclear Carrier can be too costlier and won't be economically viable option as of Now ! Nuclear carrier also have greater maintenance Issues than conventional carrier

It wont really fit in with India's current Military doctrine , we need to beef up Submarine fleet which is real concern
N-Carrier can be thought off post IAC-2

conventional carriers run on carbon based fuel which is a limited resource for next 25-30 years.so nuclear energy is certainly the best option.
Carbon based fuels are only limited with our current consumption rate and the vast vast majority is consumed by public sector needs, When carbon fuels start running out we hopefully will transition to more green energy. This will still leave many reserves of crude oil in India that will be able to meet all the defense needs for very many years to come... This might even make fuel cheaper for the military thus reducing costs, and total independence from foreign oil.
As long as the IN is going to operate in IOR there is no need for CVN, if the IN plans on a permanent Pacfic ocean deployment then there would be a need for CVN.

I wonder what the other class is... ie.., why do they always talk about "world class?? " do we have a zhopdi class / dharavi class too??

Russian-built frigate introduced to Indian Navy specialists

Indian Navy officers and seamen are familiarising themselves with INS Teg (Sabre), which is being built by the Yantar Baltic shipbuilding plant in Kaliningrad, spokesman for the plant Sergei Mikhailov said.
"Some 200 Indian seamen and officers have "settled" on INS Teg, the first of the three ships of the 11356 project, which has been completed at Yantar – they have been introduced to the new frigate and have started familiarising
themselves with its equipment under the guidance of their Russian counterparts from the Baltic Fleet," Mikhailov said.
Today, the frigate arrived from Kaliningrad, by a seaway canal, in Baltiysk, the main naval base of the Baltic Fleet. According to the spokesman, at the end of the week, INS Teg, with a joint Russian-Indian crew, is scheduled to put to the Baltic Sea to complete its state sea trials, during which the Indian sailors will have their first experience in sailing this modern frigate.
"After its return from the Baltic Sea, we will start the procedure of handing the frigate over to the customer," Mikhailov said. India plans to induct the ship as early as this April.
The frigate left Yantar for the first time under its own steam in September 2011. Since then, INS Teg has had all its systems, units and mechanisms, as well as onboard weapons,
tested at sea.
Specifically, the ship successfully test-fired the BrahMos, a modern Russia-Indian produced missile.
Building of INS Teg (Sabre) was started at Yantar in mid-2007. The two remaining frigates of this series – INS Tarkash (Quiver) and INS Trikand(Bow) – have already floated out of the docks and fitting-out is now under way. The former ship is to be commissioned in 2012 and the latter in 2013.
The contract for Yantar to build a second batch of three frigates for the Indian Navy, worth about $1.6 billion, was signed in Delhi on 14 July 2007.
Under the first contract, signed in 1997, Russia built three ships for the Indian Navy – INS Tabar (Axe), INS Trishul (Trident) and INS Talwar (Sword).
The new frigates being built by Yantar have certain modifications to their weapons and equipment. Specifically, they are equipped with the 300-km BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.
The Yantar Baltic shipbuilding plant was established on 8 July 1945. It specialises in building small and medium-sized military and civil vessels, as well as ship repairs. The plant has built 154 combat vessels and more than 500 civilian ships. The state holds a controlling stake in Yantar via Western Shipbuilding Centre, a subsidiary of United Shipbuilding Corporation.
