But look at the pics it is still under construction and it takes two years for commissioning...damnnnn why so long?

Launched means it would be shifted out from its dry dock, its pontoon and be floated.
All the modules had been integrated along with systems and subsystems. Now it would go with surface as well as dive tests. Only after these tests, there would be further tuning of systems and subsequent induction.
The pics provided are old ones where only on segment or module as been shown. It can't float that way and not fit for launching.

INS Betwa to be operational by September 2018

INS Betwa, which tipped over during a refit at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai last year, will be operational again by September 2018. The frontline Brahmaputra-class frigate of the Indian Navy had slipped on the dock blocks while it was being undocked on December 5, 2016. Two sailors were killed and 14 others were injured in the incident.

The report of the board of inquiry, which was constituted to look into the events that led to the tipping over, is still pending.

The inquiry is headed by Rear Admiral Deepak Bali, flag officer offshore defence advisory group. The vessel is likely to be set upright by February this year, said Navy sources.

According to officials, a contract would be signed this week with a foreign firm to salvage the ship. The cost of its repairs, that is, to put the ship upright had been negotiated and has been pegged at Rs20 crore, claimed Navy sources.

Phase 1 of the entire process was completed on January 11, and the ship is resting on the ground again with water being removed from the dock.

A senior navy officer said, “The ship was damaged in the incident but it can be salvaged. In fact, the Western Naval command chief Vice-Admiral Girish Luthra, flag officer commanding-in-chief, is personally monitoring the operation.”

Fortunately, the ship did not have any armaments or critical electronic suites on board as it was undergoing the refit. Also, the chief of Naval staff are opposed to any extension to the deadline. Due to the ship’s refit, the work of other major projects at the Naval Dockyard will get delayed, said sources.

I smell nonsense in your posts.

All naval accidents have distinct root causes and sabotage has not been identified anywhere.

India Set to Increase its Naval Arc in Indian Ocean
As a part of its strategy to become a blue navy for safeguarding its burgeoning economic interests, India is vigorously increasing its sphere of influence in the Indian Ocean region and beyond.

India Outpaced China in Naval Patrolling of Indian Ocean

New Delhi (Sputnik) — India no longer wants to be geopolitically contained in South Asia. It is expanding its maritime domain and naval capabilities to fulfill its aspirations as a rising power as well as match up to China.

Ever since Narendra Modi came at the helm of affairs, India has tried to deepen its framework for maritime engagement with the Indian Ocean littoral.

“India has a long history of being a maritime nation. The arc of influence of Indian Ocean extends well beyond its littoral limits. Our initiative of SAGAR – Security and Growth for All in the Region — is not just limited to safeguarding our mainland and islands. It defines our efforts to deepen economic and security cooperation in our maritime relationships,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while addressing the second annual Raisina Dialogue, a Geo-political gathering with ambitions to match other conclaves of a similar nature in Munich, Dubai and Singapore.

Modi further added that, “We know that convergence, cooperation and collective action will advance economic activity and peace in our maritime region. We also believe that the primary responsibility for peace, prosperity and security in the Indian Ocean rests with those who live in this region. Ours is not an exclusive approach. And, we aim to bring countries together on the basis of respect for international law.”

Repeating India’s concern about the South China Sea and China’s aggressive maneuvering in the Indian Ocean region, Modi said that, “We believe that respecting Freedom of Navigation and adhering to international norms is essential for peace and economic growth in the larger and inter-linked marine geography of the Indo-Pacific.”

“There is no doubt that, as India’s ambition of becoming a great power in linked with its strategic influence across the seas. India is following that path,” former Indian ambassador and expert on India’s maritime strategy, Yogendra Kumar told Sputnik.

In fact, India is going by the dictum that, “Whoever controls the Indian Ocean dominates Asia.”

REVEALED: Indian Navy’s Next ‘Advanced Technology Vessel’

http://defensenews-alert.blogspot.in/2017/01/revealed-indian-navys-next-advanced.html

There won’t be a public commissioning ceremony or any fanfare for the cameras. Not the sort that usually accompanies the entry into service of a frontline warship. In fact, much like India’s first nuclear ballistic missile submarine INS Arihant, known all its life simply by its euphemistic project title Advanced Technology Vessel, this new ship will likely slip into service in silence. Revealed first [URL='http://ift.tt/YQX1gA']over two years ago here on Livefist

, the secretive vessel, known only by its mysterious yard designation at Visakhapatnam, VC 11184, will be India’s most advanced electronics and tracking/surveillance vessel — a missile range instrumentation ship. And it will be the first ship to be a dedicated element in Phase-2 of India’s ballistic missile defence (BMD) setup and also be deployed for duties to support India’s strategic weapons programme. The build programme is being monitored directly by the Prime Minister’s Office in Delhi.

The photograph you see here is the first of the ship being floated out last year. Livefist can confirm that VC 11184 is currently in a phase of systems trials and will be handed over to the Indian Navy after sea trials in the summer. The vessel will have on board a specialised team from the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and primarily be tasked with missile tracking using two sensors, possibly an X-Band AESA primary radar and an S-Band AESA secondary radar, ranging and electronic intelligence (ELINT) gathering, making it the first ship of its kind to join Indian service. Only four other countries — the US, Russia, China and France — operate similar vessels.

India’s state-owned Hindustan Shipyard Ltd (HSL), a dying institution, was handed the roughly $1 billion contract (Rs 725 crore) on 25 Feb 2013 — likely a strategic move, given that HSL has been well out of India’s industrial spotlight for years,

a status that was perhaps conducive to building such a ship in relative secrecy. Originally to have been delivered by August 2015, the build has been delayed for a variety of familiar reasons: logistical, delays in procurement of on-board equipment, propulsion systems and sensors etc. The Indian Navy is not authorised to speak on record about the vessel.

Very little is known about the vessel beyond what your correspondent reported here in 2014. What we do know is that the VC 11184 won’t be a small ship — at 175 metres, it will be among the largest ships in service under the aircraft carriers, roughly as long as the amphibious landing ship INS Jalashwa and Deepak-class fleet replenishment tankers.
