Navantia has only ever Delivered 1 S80 class sub and that to its Home Country Spain and they had to take the help of General Dynamics to fix all the design flaws discovered mid construction.

HDW has delivered 15 U214 over last 17 years and has 6 under production for Turkey.
These subs will provide an easier learning curve in transitioning the crews from U209 which we currently operate to the U214.

The only problem is that the German's will resist adding VLS Brahmos and we will be stuck with Block III Harpoons .
Our present U209 subs are scheduled to get these missiles during their on going MLU and life extension refit by ThiesenKrupp Marine and Mazagaon Docks
That's not the only issue, if you have noticed Germany has tried to be US of Europe with India few times.

If that's what they think they are, kick their butts out and get more Scorpene's instead. I know there is an issue with AIP, but there has been an inhouse development.
 
I think Spain will never be able to bag something like submarine contract from India as even S80 is a great submarine Spanish clout on world stage comes no where close to Germany..... they may win smaller contracts like artillery or such types but big ticket items like submarine India will definitely want to be in German good books than Spain
Its not the issue of clout, but more about what Archie mentioned in the other page.

S80 - only 1 sub has been delivered as of now, while German subs are proven.

You know what

Getting more upgraded Scorpenes is the wiser option .
French have agreed to integrate DRDO Developed AIP system in scorpenes and have offered naval Scalp missile launched from 533mm torpedoes tubes
which though not as capable as the Brahmos, is still far ahead of the Exocet carried by current Scorpenes

That's actually a very interesting point mentioned by @Archie
