India has attained self-sufficiency, knowledge and expertise in designing, developing and building naval platforms, missiles and rotary wing aircraft. It's time GOI steps up efforts to export these platforms to friendly nations.

Indian Ship builders are running on 100% speed with full orders in hands, then why this export order ?

I think there is no official confirmation of this deal from either side.

 

[Sergi]

Don't think it will happen in near future. All shipyards are overloaded with IN's order book

There's always some scope to upgrade existing infrastructure.

Have visited Phillipine defence forum and members there are saying that Komorta have been rejected in post qualification ... And now PN is going for south korean DW 3000 frigates

I think integrating some Sea skimming missiles are only going to add more teeth of this platform,and Philippines might do it.

Public Sector Shipyards have their hands full but not private sector yards. This project can be taken up either by Pipavav or L&T as they do not have any large scale projects going on except for some up-gradation of existing ships and building of gun boats & offshore vessels.

I don't think India can win over Korean one in the bidding.
