Nah, simply way overdue fleet modernization (even larger numbers of very old patrol ships of soviet era design will be paid off)

Bangladesh had a order of two slightly modified 056. Any idea when will we get them. They are 10 meter larger than the original design of 056

24 frigates is very large number are u serious?

10-15 Frigates (excluding FAC, missile boats, etc), and 6-8 Subs are the ideal numbers PN is looking for.
PN has the lowest budget, around a Billion $ I believe, of course it will improve later on, but not by much. They can't afford to keep that many boats operational.
