Its due date in one indi list/import ban list is around 2029-30 so plenty of time. Make 2 so whoever comes forward will need to work on other similar systems first. Hopefully Solar can do with their proposed 250km variant tweaked a bit , possibly need to make new launcher system as well.

Russia-made warships set to join India Navy, despite sanctions

The two frigates are part of a four-ship deal that the Indians signed with the Russians back in 2018. The other two ships are being built in India, in collaboration with Russia, but are also behind schedule due to war-related supply chain issues, the officials said.

Both Russian build Talwar will be delivered in a year.

Niligiri class frigates at MDL. All sat pics are from Feb 2024.

1st ship of the class, INS Nilgiri. Both the MF-STAR & the LTR-25 "Lanza" radars have been installed. Work on exhaust stack is almost complete. No main gun yet, work on Barak-8 & Brahmos VLS has begun. The RBU-6000 launchers are being installed. Delivery of this ship is scheduled for mid-2024, it will probably get delayed to late 2024.

The undying love of IN for the RBU-6000 and AK-630M.

Well it is a fav as all the tech bases, repairing knowledge etc exist well with the IN. Plus, ARDE is just gathering the manpower for the ER-ASR trials. Not so much as gathering, more like extension of contract. Anyway, several rounds of trials are to happen over next 12-24 months time. So sticking with the RBU is no brainer.
