No Main gun, CIWS, Missile launchers? Will we be doing that in house?
They will have combat capability. If you check the second photo you will see space left for weapon fitting.
MoDP stated that the ships will be equipped for a range of roles, including:
“…anti-surface [operations], anti-air operations, maritime security operations, day [and] night helicopter operations, combat search and rescue (CSAR), and surveillance and intelligence gathering operations.”
According to the PN’s Chief of Naval Staff (CNS), Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi (via Asian Defence Journal), the corvettes will be “equipped with indigenously developed SSMs (surface-to-surface missiles) besides close-in-weapons-system (CIWS), anti-aircraft guns and a modern EW (electronic warfare) suite.”

@Rashid Mahmood @Sulman Badshah @Bilal Khan (Quwa) can you please explain this part? What is meant by TEUs?
It means it can carry two cargo containers. The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals.
