NGC will most probably touch 5000 tonnes displacement and will be armed with 08 SSM and 16 SAM.

Well they call the new class as absolute weapon intensive platforms compared to the previous gen. For mission specific, these are indeed well built.
We need an order of 24 NGC to dominate Arabian sea and IOR chokepoints. Flood the ocean with these ships ... tail every single PLAN warship, nail somali pirates they even look at a merchants,.welcome every ship arriving at gwadar
We need Minesweepers first so that a ragtag LeT piggy doesn't choke all our trade with 1 floating IED.
from INS Surat's promo YT video navy released
so, still not sure is it NGC?, but the radar looks similar to Israeli Sa'ar 6 class rectangularish, so it maybe for NGC after all?

the HEAUV is supposed to have the mine counter duty in swarm use ?
Some time back, there were reports that the IN was moving towards an MCM mothership concept with ROVs/UUVs for mine disposal like some Euro navies.
Gorshkov is cheap 'cause ruble has fallen to such an extent. When currency weakens, export prospects increase due to lowering of domestic costs. A Su-57 costs something like $25M today, at Russian MoD prices. A T-90M is less than $1M. A Yasen-M costs less than $500M. And so on.
That's also why FGFA development cost was so cheap. It fell from $5.5B in 2013 (35 rub to USD) to $3.7B in 2017 (65 rub) even though there was an increase in R&D cost by 50B rubles. The same deal today would only cost $2.4B.
So it's quite unfair to compare the two directly due to the sudden shock the Russian economy's experienced.
In time, keel laying of the 6th happened just last month by CSL and 2 were launched in September.
Keel-laying of 7th Mahe-class anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft (ASW SWC) at CSL today
KEEL LAYING OF SEVENTH SHIP (BY 529, MACHILIPATNAM) OF ASW SWC PROJECT AT CSL, KOCHI
Posted On: 29 JAN 2025 8:05PM by PIB Delhi
Keel Laying of the seventh ship (BY 529, Machilipatnam) of the Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW SWC) project was undertaken on 29 Jan 25 in the presence of RAdm Upal Kundu, Chief of Staff, Southern Naval Command. Senior officials of the Indian Navy and CSL were also present for the ceremony. With almost all major and auxiliary equipment/ systems sourced from indigenous manufacturers, these ships exemplify the GoI Initiative of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat”. This milestone, in quick succession of the Keel Laying of the sixth ship in Dec 24 and Launching of the fourth and fifth ships at CSL in Sep 24, demonstrates the steadfast efforts of the Indian Shipyards to meet Indian Navy’s growing operational requirements.
Contract for building eight ASW SWC ships was awarded to Cochin Shipyard Limited by the Ministry of Defence on 30 Apr 19. The ships known as the ‘Mahe’ class, will be equipped with indigenously developed, state-of-the-art underwater sensors, and are envisaged to undertake anti-submarine operations in coastal waters as well as Low Intensity Maritime Operations (LIMO) and Mine Laying Operations.
The first ship of the project is planned to be delivered in early 2025. Besides enhancing Indian Navy’s Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities, the high indigenous content on these ASW SWC ships is also generating large scale employment and capability enhancement of Indian Manufacturing Units.

So, MF-STAR & Barak 8 combo is pretty much confirmed. Wonder if it is the full-sized MF-STAR or the smaller variant. Given the size of NGC, it should be the smaller one.
The render we saw shows 16 Barak-8 VLS tubes on the fore deck. I really hope the NGC gets the VL-SRSAM too. A 32 cell VLS of VL-SRSAM at the rear would be awesome.
That would bring the total of MF-STAR+ Barak-8 equipped ships in the IN to 30.
7 P-15A/B
7 P-17A
8 P-17B
8 NGC
The number would rise to 43 if the Talwars and P-17s get an MF-STAR variant as rumoured. The LR-MFR is probably in extended testing and would be considered for next-gen NGD/NGF programs only.
