Pakistan's naval buildup is quite concerning.

Time is running out very fast we need to capture POK and eventually destroy all their build up in this process.
Either its POK a rather dificult proposition or have them cut of from sea. POK ka challenge is logistics and defenders advantage in mountains.

This may sound simplistic but it’s actually quite true.

A few big barrages of BrahMos in saturation attack mode is enough to sink the entire Pakistani surface fleet, including their newest ships.
issue here is the long escalation ladder which lies in between, there is a lot of gap between no activity to firing a salvo of Brahmos.

Recently I read an article in Paki strategic circle as to how Indian Navy cannot be the only power in Arabian Sea due to various issues it faces (Accidents, Project Delays etc) and how it needs to work with Pakistan Navy to to safe guard Arabian Sea.
It also spoke as to how Pakistan Navy cannot let Indian Navy to dominate Arabian Sea and it need to make sure there is a 'Balance of Power' to keep 'Indian Hegemonic design' in check.

As an Indian I found that article full of crap but then that's how Pakis think.

Ultimately India can’t stop PN from procuring what they want.

there is no choice for IN but to build longer stand off attack capability, both shore based and ship based, invest more on surveillance as well.
The key is Gaining a big edge on Pakistan.

This will require overhauling of all our shipyards to churn out ships at faster and more efficient manner as well as yards for repairs and upgrades.
Other part of developing an indigenous MIC is building IP and make sure its flows into the Industry. The TOT gained from foreign firms sit ideal in some PSU without getting distributed till its outdated.
We pay millions in consultancy fee alone, wouldn't it be better to have in house R&D firms that can weight in.
The navy is in the right track on this matter having its own design team and closely working with DRDO and Pvt sector, still a long way to go though.
Air force is well whatever.

Now it's too late they can not match Indian navy in numbers and technology.

Absolutely. We need a Naval buildup in the next 10 years similar in sort to what China did in 2010-20.

Yea, IN is the more sorted bunch among the three.

here economy does not matter because their funding is not in line with their domestic budget.
But is does keep them limited to being a pawn. In a wierd way having Pakis subservient to China is much better them having leverage against them. That way their options are limited. Pakis try hard for that not to happen, they know of the consequences of too much dependence on China.

In my point of view developing long range weapons would be better option to counter PN. SMART along with Brahmos ER and LRLACM would make sure that porkis doesn't find any place to hide up their asses. We already have 24×7 coastal and space surveillance.

I am sure this will work but for that to be actually effective BrahMos needs to reach its stated maximum range of 800km and it needs to be inducted in numbers by the Navy. If that happens i am sure all the surface fleet of any adversary on western flank can be taken care off.

Looks like whatever rust buckets they have are not retaining serviceability and need expeditious replacement.

Adding 10+ more small to medium surface and 1 subsurface ships of unknown attack and networking capabilities will not cut the mustard of a potent threat.

The effect of this economical pinch and arms race with India can not be downplayed. Chinese money may come on easier terms but in the long run any Indian watcher will be happy to see them sustain a sizable liability being threatened continuously by Indian Navy.
