After years of delays and shifting requirements, the Indian Navy’s long-pending acquisition of four Landing Platform Docks (LPDs) is expected to gain fresh momentum with the government poised to issue a new Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) under Article 12 of the Defence Procurement Manual (DPM) for shipbuilding in India following the clearance from the Defence Procurement Board. With the growing presence of the Chinese Navy in the waters surrounding India, this long-anticipated move is likely to be expedited, as New Delhi seeks to bolster its amphibious warfare and maritime expeditionary capabilities. The LPDs will be constructed domestically, and the selected bidder will be free to choose local or global partners—public or private—for execution, marking a strategic shift in how large-scale naval platforms are acquired and built.

"There was a destroyer, but it’s very, very early stages of discussion where the Navy is looking at having a common destroyer designed between India and Japan. But these are very, very early stages. We have not signed any MoU."
