If IN had thought that the next FSS will be build inhouse then they should have collaborated with the Italians from starting only. But no, they waited for 10+ years.
USN and RN use two different type of ships for the replenishment: 1. For fuel 2. For solid supply. Do we exercise both the capabilities in a single platform?
Some genius in mod has come up with leasing as a way to not take any concrete decisions on purchases and meet shortfalls. In all fairness it has worked in cases such as small support ships and sci sabarmati. However has failed in case of mcmv. They could have simply picked up second hand ships like PN.
Marine accoustic research ship (MARS) or INS sagardhwani was made by GRSE.
Old Sandhayak Class was from GRSE, they used it as a base for INS Sagardhwanai.
Now that the new GRSE survey vessels are also from GRSE, its likely the same design will be used as a base.
As an aside the new SVL is also a good base for MCM mothership (moship).
Right now just the cost, tech spec etc estimates tender, to be submitted within 1 month

The Union Cabinet has accorded approval to sign a contract with Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) for acquisition of three Cadet Training Ships, at an overall cost of Rs 3,108.09 crore, under Buy {Indian-IDDM (Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured)} category. The delivery of ships is scheduled to commence from 2026.
These ships will cater to the training of officer cadets, including women, at sea after their basic training to meet the future requirements of the Indian Navy. The ships would also provide training to cadets from friendly countries with the aim to strengthen diplomatic relations. The ships can also be deployed for evacuation of people and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR).
The ships will be indigenously designed, developed and constructed at L&T shipyard in Kattupalli, Chennai. The project will generate an employment of 22.5 lakh man-days over a period of four-and-half years. This will encourage active participation of Indian shipbuilding and associated industries, including MSMEs. With the majority of the equipment and systems sourced from indigenous manufacturers, these vessels will be a proud flag bearer of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ in consonance with the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the Government.
