Safe to presume this program is cancelled.
Jalashwa has 04 x LCM - ideally these 6 were going to replace these LCMs + 2 for training and spare.
With LPD program slowly progressing, expect a much larger tender for such vessels.
Yeah, makes sense.
Anyone with Wikipedia editing knowhow should remove it from there.
RFP expectations from MDL:
P-17B - next 2 months
MCMV - next 4 months
LHD - next 6 months
P75I is under negotiations. Expecting order this FY.
Repeat P75, no updates from MoD. If happening it will be immediate as everything is done from their end.
Add the RFP for 5 Next generation Survey Vessels also. That's cleared right ? And 2 more Multipurpose Vessels.
There was no update about that in the investor call.
There will probably be some updates on that front in the GRSE call on Nov 6, along with news on the NGC.
The issue seems to be that MDL capacity will be consumed with scorpenes, and thus impact u boat order
Couldn't find any official government source for NGC deal signing.
LPD tips the scales at 40,000t each! For comparison, the standard displacement of IAC Vikrant is about 37,500t.
This will most likely be a clean sheet design.
If it comes with an angled deck, it could well be adapted for fixed wing jets at some point in the future.
Doubt so. According to TPCR-25, the LPDs are supposed to be 29,000T (+/-10%) range. Looking at ships roughly the size of JC1 or Trieste. Not ruling out the possibility of a clean sheet design either, we've got the design capability.
Guess we'll have to wait for the new RfP to find out. Sandeep is usually right about these things.
So the LPDs will not see any foreign designer partnering with an Indian shipyard for design, it will be a clean sheet design ?
