The failure correction will involve substantial money and time expenditures. The minimum cost of repair is not less than one billion rubles. The Sevmash officials have already expressed hope for receiving state support. Even in this case the repair of the cruiser will have been finished at best in spring 2013.

The shipyard does not have that kind of money, some one is going to have to cough it up befor the repairs begin.

Something else that is curious : According Djachkov work Boiler Design Bureau was conducted in the Russian Federation, and the boilers were manufactured at the Baltic Shipyard. "During the trial in the vessel wall boilers are not technically able to develop full speed. They were tested for a maximum capacity of 40%. When first entering the large capacity of up to 100% was observed partial collapse of refractory masonry in boiler furnaces," - he said

Delivery of INS Vikramaditya further delayed by a year, admits Russia | NDTV.com

Best guess along with other repairs and failures India is going to pay more then a billion rubles and two to three years for a carrier that will never be operated at full speed. Remember the boilers were not the only failure. I would expect India to spend several months negotiating the cost of repairs (never heard of a quick India business decision) and there are the cost of other failures in equipment. http://www.9abc.net/archives/88341

MiG-29K carrier trials for India completed

"All tests on the ship have been completed successfully, and the customer signed the respective protocol. We no longer need a carrier [for trials]," says RAC MiG general director Sergei Korotkov. The Indian navy has already received 16 K-model fighters and KUB-variant trainers from a previous order, and "these aircraft are being successfully operated", he adds.

Meanwhile, a first batch of six Indian air force MiG-29s to be upgraded to an improved UPG standard have been completed at the Russian company's Lukhovitsy plant to the south of Moscow. Introducing a new avionics suite harmonised with that of the MiG-29K, the work is being performed under a March 2008 contract, with 90% of the aircraft to be modified in India under Russian supervision.

The Mig-29K won't even reach the red circle while landing. The arrestor hooks are supposed to stop it before it reaches the take off position.

The red circle is most probably there to indicate the starting point of the aircraft for a take off at loaded weight. There is a similar red line on the first take off point for Mig-29K. It may also be used as a helicopter take off and landing area.
