If that is NGMV then my name is Field Marshall Aladeen. The first photo is straight P16 Godavari class.

some opinions about naval ships:-
1:- our P17 B seven upcoming nilgiri class frigate (6600 ton displacement) cost is little lower than our vikramaditya class destroyers (7600 ton)....these frigate cost near 1 billion dollars. although they hv lesser range, less helicopter, less torpedo tubes nd lesser antiship missile (16 vs 8). i m saying after these orders of 7 nilgiri (p17 B). we should focus on building 4500 ton displacement frigate, not 6600 ton displacement nilgiri type frigate. that will cost less nd we make them in more quantity. so we can perform operation in different areas.
2:- project 18 will be near 13000+ ton displacement class. ideally they should be in crushers class, not destroyer class.
3:- for upcoming destroyers we should stuck with 7000-8000 ton displacement of vikramaditya destroyers. it should hv additional 16-32 VLS for sure.
3:- for upcoming Corvette we should adopt israeli SAAR 6 corvette configuration. which is 2000 ton displacement, but it hv same capabilities, radars, firepower or little more than our 6600 ton nilgiri frigate. although it compromise with range nd brahmos like antiship missile, but its price is lesser than nilgiri class. we dont need destroyer like weapons in corvette case, coz its for coastal areas protection. not for deep sea missions like destroyer nd frigate.

Firepower vs size debate/nonsense comes up repeatedly with regards to the IN with plenty reiterating this line that IN ships should be smaller with more firepower every few months/years

It’s been repeatedly rebuffed- the IN priorities are range and endurance hence their size comparing the Israelis who barely ever leave their EEZ to the IN is beyond absurd but typical for those that play this game of top trumps
