Doubtful, because of the high costs and the uncertainties about possible budget cuts. It will be far better to order a higher number of MRMR aircrafts (1 x P8I = 4 to 5 C295MPA!).
No sancho, order of 24 P-8Is was confirmed by than CNS Admiral Nirmal Verma to "India Strategic" -
..:: India Strategic ::. Indian Navy: Indian Navy to induct 24 Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft
The role of LRMR can't be substituted by induction of MRMR, In fact some naval planners are asking to induct P-8Is only for the role of MRMR b'coz of already set-up infrastructure.
