Indian Navy building warships using carbon fibre composites

And your point is?

Indians PSUs are regulary importing tech that is readily available in india. This is an example of lack of co-ordination between each PSU.

Have you been to HALs manufacturing plant? Do you know the capacity of the klin HAL has? Do you know how long HAL has been fabricating composites for? Do you know the size of each PVC/carbon section on the Visby is? From the article its clear GRSE is buying prefabricated structural blocks that will be assembled in Kolkata.

HAL & NAL have just little bigger facility for fabricating Carbon Fibre & glass fibre as Toyota's lexus CFC fabricating plant.
Can you fabricate blocks of ships superstructure in this.
You can't cook large quantity of food in your home's regular utensil, you need bigger utensil to cook it.

Well No for most of the questions. But HAL cannot have required CFC making kilns needed for GRSE for 1 simple reason. GRSE need specific type of CFC for making the superstructure.And it's bound to be different from the requirement of HAL. Lets assume that these two have some middle ground of their requirement, then I guess HAL may kilns which can bake 2 ~ 4 Tejas Wing pairs at a time ?? Well then the Biggest of HAL kilns will not be able to bake the smallest section of this superstructure.
And hence I am saying they will be getting the superstructure fabricated where they have such facilities available. Also if you have some info to share please be my guest.

Why do you assume that the whole structure will be made of carbon composites, and made of large sections? The visby superstructure is made of carbon composite/PVC laminate and "treated mulch".
