How is it being cleared so quickly? The NGC program got DAC approval in 2022 and is still awaiting CCS approval. By the way, the P-17B program will cost 70,000 crore INR, not 57,000 crore.

They are probably existing design with little changes. NGC is not. This is the right way to go. Costs will also come down.
