    I kind of answered this before in other threads. To put it shortly, GRSE is the only yard in India with the in-house experience in oilers/supply ships (INS Aditya, 24k tons), but HSL was trying to enter the field to compete, eventhough both are state-owned they are managed by independent boards...

    I don't have a subscription either, will see if I can find other sources. I was wondering because the article specifically mentioned indigenous design in the image title at the top.

    Developing story...what we know is that Arif Alvi, the President of Pakistan (who is the head of state, PM is head of Govt) has come out and categorically denied that he signed a number of laws, which were apparently passed as though he did.

    This is big: 6 x older Talwar-class FFGs and 3 x Shivalik-class FFGs to get MFSTAR multifunction APAR and Barak-8 VLS. Massive upgrade in capabilities! On the Shivalik the upgrade would be more straightforward as the CMS is our design and we hold the IPR to modify it as we want...but this...
