IN planning is quite mysterious, P-17s will be workhorse for long range patrolling due to its size & range and you will see it will grow bigger (comparable to P-15A) in size and will be rolled out at greater pace than its previous ones. Whereas Talwar’s will be accompany IAC due to its versatility.

Due to confusion with requirements of IN, latest Destroyers are getting delayed but in another 1-2 years you will see NGD will slowly see the light. As NG P-17s will be larger comparable to P-15s IN planners and not worried much about shortage of firepower for a short term.

P75I & Minesweepers are in line, don't worry IN will get them in much larger quantity than you have quoted above.

This and INS Tamala are very unique in the sense that these 2 are built by the Russians and with Ukrainian Engines.

Its same arrangement as previous talwars. Zorya engine (UKR) on russian build.

Only thing that changed was post 2014 relationship between UKR and RUS, as UKR cut off supply of zorya to anything russian to be used by Russia in end. India worked out exception for itself.

This is said to be India's new 600T class gantry crane. It is located in the newly built third dry dock of Cochin Shipyard Ltd. in India. It is the largest gantry crane in India at present.

Is there any Indian friend in the know to confirm this news and give details about it?

This is from Hyundai.

The 600T is still a little small. It can be used to build large ships, but the construction efficiency is on the low side. It belongs to the minimum threshold for building large ships.

When Britain was building the Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, it bought a 1000T-class gantry crane from China, named “Goliath”. It is said to be priced at 130 million CNY (excluding shipping costs). After the UK finished building two aircraft carriers, the gantry crane was basically idle.
A few years ago, there was news that the UK was planning to resell the 1000T-class gantry crane to India. Unexpectedly, India purchased this 600T class gantry crane from Hyundai.

It depends on the requirements. 600 ton is our biggest crane so far..
May be in future !
