I think Pakistan will never publicly accept any Submarine based Nuclear capability due to international politics. The subs we use are French not Pakistani . So the French may still have some say on what we can do with the subs and what we cannot. Specially when the AIP is 100% made in France and all spares come from France. An embargo and stoppage of spares will outweigh any gains from chest thumping while showing off Babur being fired from a Sub.It is reported to be under development. There is no official confirmation yet. However there a plenty of developments that point in direction of a naval version, things like tube launched trails of the missile, vertical launch trails, formations of Naval Strategic Forces Command. All these point towards project to arm navy with land attack missiles. It is possible that it will be submarines that will get these missiles first and surface ships that will be inducted with missiles will be inducted at a later stage.
Things may change once we have Chinese subs.
