The issue is they will fail at ToT just like the Minesweeper deal as they don't actually own the technology.

Once bitten twice shy. It's a wonder how was the Korean mfg company qualified for the MCMV tender in spite of the stringent requirements of the IN . After that attempt & in the light of what's happened recently between DSME & Indonesia & later with TKMS literally suing DSME for violations of IPR , if the IN still persists in continuing with DSME then there's something fishy afoot .
Just the hull alone will cover 50% ToT requirement. The stuff that's not owned by SoKo is just 30% of the sub, and reducing, so there's 70% to play with. Scorpene too, we didn't get all the main stuff, just the hull and some others. Also, IN wants quite a bit of the electronics and propulsion Indianised. ToT isn't a factor here.
Minesweeper deal died because they were way above the benchmark costs. ToT was already agreed upon.

Our ToT requirement is not difficult for the OEMs to match considering the size of orders.

See this is the problem.
An AoN is not equal to contract signing. Currently
Germans:- The clauses in P75I are not favorable. We can also drop out leading to single vendor situation.
India:- Okay we relax the liability clause and extend the response time.
Germany:- Okay , btw I think a direct G2G deal will benefit both of us, won't it?
India:- If you think so, maybe bring up in writing what you propose and then we will talk.
Germany:- Okay we are working on the proposal.
That's it. That's the story till now. Nothing more.
Then we will end up having to proceed with a single vendor deal with the only remaining contender.
We can make concessions, but we won't submit to blackmail.

Sensationalism. It was designated as prototype in 2012 or so for testing new systems. The systems were then integrated with the later subs, the production of which was halted till they could fix the issues.
I haven't heard any updates on this. Has the MoD formally issued a RFP?
Any news on G2G deals? Surely there have been plenty of opportunities for high level discussion with all the global meetings/conferences...
