Profect75I is now latest Japnese subs with Indian AIP and to be jointly produced. A tech far beyond what has been offered by any western nation to us.
Project 75 India Diesel-electric Submarine Programs (SSK) : Updates and Discussions

Who wanna bet that we will not sign anything for next 10 years, and then when only Scorpenes are left, then we will start working on P76 directly?
Manohar parrikar when he was DM said the same. If navy actually follows through we would have had a design ready by now to utilise MDL production line.
We do have a concept imo. Testing it fully is the issue.
But again P76 if and when it happens is a solution that comes in after around mid 2030s.
