IN had released an RFI for 06 High Speed Landing Craft way back in 2017. Strangely, this was never accorded AoN.

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.

With the recent DAC approval, future projects for IN look something like this:

#Future Projects:
•RFP: (17)
1. Project 75I class SSK = 06
2.Next Generation Corvette = 08
3.Additional Kalvari class SSK = 03

•AoN: (61)
1. P-17B class FFG = 07
2. Next Generation Survey Vessels = 05
3. Next Generation MPV = 02
4. New Water Jet Fast Attack Craft = 31
5. Fast Interceptor Craft-I = 120
6. Mine Counter Measure Vessels = 12
7. LHD class = 04

•RFI: (07)
1. High Speed Landing Crafts = 06
2. National Hospital Ship = 01

The number of AoN accorded for the RFI floated are significantly higher for the IN.
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.

The issue seems to be that MDL capacity will be consumed with scorpenes, and thus impact u boat order
 
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.
No, it will be around ~25,000 ton.

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.
