DRDO and PSUs

instead of ATAGS rail gun would be much more effective, and that is in works i think.

First of all why would we need atags class 155mm gun on our ships?
The only use for them is shore bombardment, it works for china because they have Taiwan to invade.
But why would IN need it?

but why should we?
We are not going the route of shore bombardment( chinks have Taiwan, that big gun will provide them 40+km range for shore bombardment lot cheaper than surface to surface missiles, and with rocket powered/ramjet shells in future could extend to 100+km range).
We don't need shore bombardment capabilities.

We're going the route of having deck gun that is on a smaller side and higher fire rate.

OTO Melara 76 mm - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Its high rate of fire and the availability of several types of ammunition make it capable of short-range anti-missile point defence, anti-aircraft, anti-surface, and ground support. Ammunition includes armour-piercing, incendiary, directed fragmentation effects, and a guided round marketed as capable of destroying maneuvering anti-ship missiles.

Basically our rapid fire 76mm can be used as point defense( main function)

Bigger is not always better.
Depends on the requirements.

BTW...the 76mm/100mm/130mm naval guns on PLAN DDG/FFG have relevant AA projectile -guided ammunition(RF/Laser) and Programmable Airburst Capability ammunition (time or distance mode). the later is applied in real equipment.
