I somehow doubt it'll be as low as 4 billion euros. The cost being quoted for 12 Rafales for Serbia is in the range of 3 billion euros.

However, if the Indian Navy does opt for common maintenance and servicing of it's Rafale D/M fighters with the IAF's Rafale C/D, then yes the cost will come down quite a bit.

934 crore ie 110 million USD for a refit

That's expensive

What are the upgrades planned during this refit and for how long will this sub remain in service after this upgrade

INS Sindhukirti is just getting a regular upgrade to boost its combat abilities, unlike the Shishumar-class submarine Shankush, which is getting a more expensive overhaul costing around ₹2,725 crore.
 
INS Surat (Visakhapatnam-class Destroyer) has begun sea trials. Following this, India will commence the construction of its Project 18-class cruiser ships, each equipped with over 110 VLS cells.

MFSTAR on the lead ship of the P17A class frigates, INS Nilgiri... This ship will also have the excellent 3D air surveillance radar LTR 25 Lanza L-band radar, which we've seen on the modernized INS Mysore

I would love to know what efforts India, IN and DRDO are taking towards making an indigenous MFStar equivalent radar. All the things we do but can't make an MF Star type radar or LTR 25 radar? Hard to believe it.

We've achieved a significant milestone with our shipborne S-band naval radar, far surpassing China's aspirations. The Indian Navy has successfully integrated and operationalized it on INS Anvesh, positioning it to compete head-to-head with the USN's AN/SPY-6 system.

Thats a good sign. I do hope they spee up the development and trials. Any idea what is the future road map for this radar? What ships will it be on? 6 sq m is pretty big. It won't fit on any of our existing ships or under construction ships either. Is there a new ship design they envision for this radar? What is its use case?

This new naval radar is going to be installed on our Project 18 Next Generation Destroyer, which will have an Aegis-like defense system. So yeah, we totally need this kind of MFR. Most likely, the P-17A class will be the last Indian Navy combat ship to use the MF-STAR radar. In the future, IN plans to switch to the DRDO-designed LR-MFR that's currently being tested on the INS Anvesh technology demonstration ship.

I think you have your projects mixed up bud, project 18 is Vishakapatnam destroyers, they use MFSTAR. And the ship design won't allow for a refit of the new radar later on either.
