Right now, no. Our ships can't reload VLS cells at sea. But with the new next gen Universal VLS, itll become possible. There are plans for new Replenishment ships for the same reason.
This is something i don't get...

Why don't our ships just have more VLS cells instead of the measly few? Isn't carrying them launch-ready on the warship better than bringing them along stacked in a mule?

There should be enough space for few more tubes, if not, it'll take only a few metres of elongation of the vessel.

true
but as we have seen with most of the navy ships coming out of navy design bureau. the stealth is under water not over water.
What's the point? Would submarines depend on sonar (as opposed to radar for warships)?

Simple - ships serve for decades - why choke up empty spaces that might in the future be home to advanced weaponry on the verge of delivery (better missiles, DEWs) or perhaps logistical systems that actually reload missile cells at sea?

You can install VLS cells without compromising space for the future. You can simply remove the cells and install different types of housing compartments for future advanced weaponry.

And its that easy to maintain the electrical components and the cell's integrity, is it?

Is it confirmed that both p-15b and p-17a ships won't have ran-40l radar.

If we want to reuse the old names, then:
Nilgiri, Vindhyagiri, Udaygiri, Taragiri, Himgiri, (6th one of the class whose name I don't know) + Dronagiri (new 7th name of the hill Hanuman carried)
Sixth one was 'Dunagiri' in the old Leander/Nilgiri class.

Dunagiri is the present name of Dronagiri... So can't use that anymore.

Dhaulagiri then (seriously what the f*** is even "Chandragiri")? It's an ancient Indian buddhist shrine of Ashokan era.
