Wasn't good enough? Or you have not enough funding using some'future unproven indigenous advanved technology ' as an excuse?You blew up the original budget, hence you had no more money for AIP, that was the real reason. Why the last 2? Means the technology is not even fully developed yet?
Sure it's not developed yet. The AIP will be unique. And IN not only rejected the French MESMA, but also their second generation AIP.

The plan is to use it on our next gen subs also.
This coming from a country who even needs to import rifles?
Imported is not good enough and an unproven, undeveloped 'Indian' AIP is better? i thought you only aim for the best? Since when did anything Indian made is world classs? So we will see AIP is another decade? By then a newer technology will come and you willbe behind, same case with LCA etc.
I hope you check how many advanced subs and destroyers we have before you assume this. Another SUPA POWA delusion coming.

Type 039B subs are also reportedly fitted with the Kockums Stirling AIP technology, which increases the boats’ submerged endurance from days to weeks.
The new catch phrase, world class instead of supapowa? We will we can, China did it already, AIP vessels, fully made in China and exported, while you TALK.. Hell you can even build your own indigenous conventional subs until today, we have been making it for decades.
Do you know the Yuan class? Do you have something comparable indigenously?
How do you import AIP from Sweden and then call it indigenous?
Your latest destroyers, the Type 052C and 052D, both use German engines. Is that indigenous too?
I bet High IQ Chinese do not know how much China still relies on countries like Germany and Sweden for high end technologies.
For a $12T economy, you guys are still far too dependent. But as a $2.5T economy, we have already indigenized a lot of stuff with world class technologies.
Give us a ring, maybe we will supply you our AIPs for your next sub.
