Corvettes of Indian Navy : News and Discussions

Does anyone know why we we are going for 16 ASW-SWC to replace only 4 Abhay class? Any new requirements to defend coastlines against submarines?

Also the older news articles claim that ASW-SWC will be able to prosecute intruding aircraft, but it doesn't have any air defence.
Chinese and Pakistani increase in submarine and under water capabilities.
Pakistan already has 4 agusta submarines add 8 hangor class submarines.
Another issue the new frigate they got from Turkey.
China is a whole different ball game although they still have a lot of dated kilo classes which would logically be taken.
