Nopes, but I am trying to find images of hull block fabrication by other P17A subcontractors- Chowgule, Titagargh & DDCL.
I guess you mean this. All the blocks shown in green were supposed to be subcontracted to other yards. One of the blocks in the pic does seem to be the stern block with provision for stern tube to pass through.
Obviously you can post it to to twitter. The images belong to MDL, Shoft & MDL respectively.
Thank you. So it was Shavlik that was deployed. I'll post it tomorrow on SF twitter. 
Yes that's the one.
propulsion shaft ?
Thank you. Appreciate the help.
Properly planned construction program.
While we launch just completed hulls and wait for Naval Design Bureau to complete the design of superstructure to start work on the remaining portion of ship.

More than modular construction, China's import content for its Ships are comparatively low compared to what we have. The delays can be avoided if we can manufacture the propulsion, radars & weapon systems, in India. This will bring down the total time our shipyards take from 6 years to maybe 4 years. But a lot of our warships were commissioned without weapons and or helicopters. Indigenization is the way to go and way to control the cost and cost escalation.
The NGD and NGF will have high import content. I suppose except engines, everything else is expected to be Indian.
The program should have been limited to buying these 2 - don't understand why a make in india element was added to it for barely 2 ships.
