19 frigates if purchase of 3 more Talwar class went ahead. Anyway we don't need 5 AESA destroyers for PN. 2-3 AESA frigates( P-17A) along with few Talwars and Shivaliks will be enough for surface fleet.Only problem is numbers. By 2024 we will have only 10 Destroyers and 16 Frigates. Apart from 12 Karmorta class Big corvettes.
Divide them by 2 for two flanks. And see the problem.
Even if China commits its 1/4th fleet ,they will overwhelm us by numbers.
