The arrival of the 6 Submarines would be a welcomed addition to capabilities of National Forces
 
.
China can build 4 in 4 years and Pakistan will build the other four in about 4/6 years, so the max is10 years with sea trials it might go up to 12 years, but it is more probable 10 years in all.. one should remember that these AIP Qing subs are some of the most sophisticated and modern subs outthere, they will be at least as heavy as the kilo subs or even much heavier if they are designed for the second strike capability, maybe just four of them while the remainig 4 will be hunter killers and conventional strke subs..

That would be far too long 2-3 Year range is more desirable
5 Submarines made in China , and 1 made in Pakistan (2-3 Years)

per deal four will be build in pakistan, i think the first would take 3-4 years to build from contract signing, we can have the subsequent one every 1-2 years, meaning, all 4 subs should be build in 8-10 years
china will be build the other four at same time

per defence report a contact as signed in 2015 april, so we expect an actual ground breaking somewhere next year with deliveries around 2019-20 if everything is smooth for the first one
 
.
I think we will see 4 Qing class subs in Pakistan by 2020 and Pakistan will start building the other 4 by that time if not before..China is fast as you know!
The Type 39 yuan/41 Qing has been already built in China..some changes will be required for The Pakistani specs.. this is not like building the subs from scrach!

China will provide eight submarines to Pakistan for securing the coastal areas.

This was disclosed in a briefing to the National Assembly Standing Committee on Defence by Pakistan Navy chaired by Sheikh Rohale Asghar in Islamabad on Friday.

Under the agreement, four submarines will be constructed in China and will be provided to Pakistan Navy in 2022-23 while the remaining four submarines will be constructed in Pakistan at Karachi Shipyard and will be handed over to Pakistan Navy in 2028.

The Committee expressed satisfaction over the development made by the Pakistan Navy of Pakistan.
 
. . .
why so long? what special submarine they are making? as MOD book the deal already finalised in 2015?
That's good. Pakistan will slowly induct new sub. This mean instead of getting 8 subs based on today's technology, the newer ones can be modified with updated sensors and stuff during their construction.
 
.
Well.I did say that the construction won't begin before 2017-18 as all Chinese submarine yards are occupied.
The first sub will begin sea trials in early 2022.

Anyways India's defence minister was right when he said Pakistan will take a long time to get those submarines:
Q. Pakistan is on course to buy 8 diesel-electric submarines from China in what would be one of Beijing's biggest exports. How do you think it will change the dynamics in the Indian Ocean region?
A. Of course, a submarine in itself is a very powerful platform in the ocean. It may, however, not directly pose a threat to India. But it does become a weakness in your armour of controlling the ocean. We will have to match it. I do not see it as a big problem because we will have enough submarines by the time Pakistan gets these 8. By the time they get the deliveries, we can manufacture 15-20 submarines.
