These VLS are with dummy covers. They are not holding any actual missile.

Regarding the new platforms for MRSAM in Indian Navy, as of now only Next Generation Corvettes are in the pipeline. I'm not able to find if any other vessels will have MRSAM fitted on them. By 2026 following vessels will have MRSAM on them:
1. 3 P-15A
2. 4 P-15B
3. 7 P-17A
4. 1 P-71
Total = 15.
After that, IN will decide if they want MRSAM on P-17 or not. By 2030 we can have following count of MRSAM equipped vessels:
15 as mentioned above along with 08 NGC + 3 P-17* and 07 P-17AU*.

Next Generation Missile Vessels will most probably have SRSAM.

I have a stupid question can these vls hold AAD or AD 1 missile.
Given that naval version of AAD was tested a few months back

Both missiles are dimensionally closer to a Brahmos. MRSAM VLS tubes are too small to pack them in.
