Till there is sea-change of attitude literally, India defence production be it naval or otherwise will continue to suffer Far better capacity + management is being criminally thrown to wayside. ================================================================...

Its probably assembly line max production rate that is 8 (with whatever the stress and strain impact running at 100%) per year. It is the sustained funding, labour + capital availability that will determine what the desired/projected throughput is...rather than simply (max) 8x3. i.e MOD has...
