A familiar place, at the NBCD School; though the facility is much upgraded from the past, what with the remote control and monitoring system.

According IN plans, between 2012-22 they intent to acquire/order 4 Destroyers and 10 frigates.(P15A and P17 are part of previous plan). Four Project 15B destroyers are under construction and seven Project 17A frigates are on order.The remaining 3 frigates will be Follow on Talwar class frigates.We already operate 6 Talwar class and As @Penguin said Indian design inputs learned from Shivalik class helped to create the Talwar class and from that class russia developed the Project 11356 frigates (Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate).India also helped to modernize "Yantar" shipyard in Kaliningrad. Indian shipyards are not full to make 4000ton frigates but shipyards capable/experienced in building these ships(MDL,GRSE) are full with orders.New private shipyards (ABG , L&T & Pipavav ) are all capable but inexperienced.A partnership b/w Yantar shipyard and one of these private shipyard can be expected. Its time to repay and make those ships in india. #Makeinindia

Looks like things are going in right direction :

Same technology & design can be transferred by MDL to private shipyards with much less consultation charges.
They should take consultancy by western shipyards in 20 metre beam destroyers for more VLS instead of 17 metre current & more automation.

All the engines are imported from Somalia, though imports from Rwanda are also being considered presently.
That being said; use "Uncle Google", you are sure to get more enlightened about all this, look for ship-building and aviation manufacture. There are many threads running here too.
LOOK and thou shalt find!
