Navy will still go ahead with the German option because it is proven at sea. L&T might get some subcontractor work but that is it.

MDL being a PSU will ease 'single vendor' concerns.

There is another oddity where HSL is being built up as a submarine builder by MDL.

Two Indian shipbuilders to collaborate on indigenous submarine construction

Indian naval shipbuilders Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL) and Hindustan Shipyard (HSL) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on t

So if this isn't progressing because L&T is upset, that development wouldn't make sense.
L&T going to get ghanta anyway

I think the setup is MDL will subcontract atleast 3 German subs to HSL, MDL themselves will build the 3 additional Scorpenes and 3 German Uboots.

Anyway in the following months we will know.

This entire submarine procurement reeks corruption.

If going by available news, DRDO/Navy submitted the relevant document for an Indigenous conventional submarine. But the file has been sitting in the MOD shelf for 5 years and now only provided initial level approval.

If we use the brain by end of 2030 we may have our own submarine design coming out with DRDO AIP.

do we even know the nodal agency for p76 diesel sub design? drdo or wdb or mazgaon dock ltd?? coz they were saying p75 winners experience and tot would help in p76, then some day drdo says we are doing preliminary design review, then someday navy would come up with its own design. who should we trust?? or rather make a jv between these 3 and give production work to mazgaon and 1 pvt player

Why are we still making multirole surface combatants when most navies are shifting towards specialised ships? Also in a fleet/CBG what ships would play what role?

Don't go by News items. We are manufacturing Arihant class subs and the proposed design by DRDO/Navy was an mini version of it. It does not depends on the ToT from P75i. The objective was to utilize the Arihant design to an conventional sub. We have existing supplier like L&T (Hull), TATA SED (Control Systems) and other MSME. DRDO AIP is there and we have Kirloskar Diesel which is apprently being manufactured and tested soon.

It justs Navy decided to fixate on AIP AIP AIP for some reason. When things becoming dire on Submarine front. 30+ years submarine fleets.
