Have the Germans actually officially offered the Type 214 under P75I?

And is SAAB partnering any shipyard?
 
Final offering is only by RFP then evaluation.
Adding VLS and AIP on a smaller sub like U214 will reduce performance considerably.

@Penguin Can you explain advantages X-shaped tail planes and double hulled design on SSks.Looks like all modern ssks have those.

Double v single hull:

X planes
Aft Hydroplanes
Figure 8 shows the positioning of the aft hydroplanes as used by military submarines. Type A is the configuration applied by many modern military submarines. The hydroplanes are located in front of the screw. Note that the rudder blades are of different size. The bottom plane is smaller than the top one so that the boat can be put on the bottom of the sea (bottoming). Types B and C have the hydroplanes behind the screw. This is a configuration used by older submarines. The hydroplanes behind the screw are still used by the double screw Russian Tango and India class boats. The arrangement of D has the rudder behind the screw but has the dive planes in front of it. This type of arrangement was used for the German 205 and 206 class boats. Type E has the hydroplanes tilted 45 degrees, the so called X-tail configuration. No distinction between the rudder and the dive planes can be made. To steer and dive the boat, all of the four hydroplanes are used. In old submarines each set of hydroplanes, fore dive, aft dive and rudder, were operated by a separate person that manually turned a control wheel to the desired angle. It is obvious that an X-tail can only be operated by electronics or computer control. Because all four planes are used for both horizontal and vertical movement, the control of the boat is more subtle. Due to the 45 degrees tilting of the hydroplanes, bottoming is made possible without having to decrease the size of the lower dive planes. The X-tail configuration is used by the Dutch Walrus (Figure 9), the Swedish Vatergotland and the Australian Type 471.

Thats correct bro. Type-216 suits Indian requirements more than Type-214. Anyway if Type-214 is selected, it will be with huge modifications like adding VLS etc which is not making sense as Germans could have offered Type-216 instead of Type-214.

And who said we won't go for 216? Our tilt is towards German. That may not mean 214!!! We need to wait. Remember our requirements converged towards Sorayu Japanese subs? That's one big *** submarine with top notch technologies. 214 with non magnetic hull could be our choice... Anything less than this will be a blunder. 216 is still a new sub. German boats and French boats make huge difference between IN and PLAN in very good margin

Sorry to ask this stupid question but Why it is red in color?

..........o_O...................

Primer and more coating been applied. I think it will undergo few more coating before the final product
 
Some one had explained non magnetic hulls can't submerge deeper,
while it's suited to around 50 meters depth of Mediterranean Sea.

So it's not a match for us
