That means a days of faster warships induction China style has started for India too.... 3rd SSBN coming in just 6 months and now 12 warships in year... this is the speed I always dreamt off.....

While the Indian Navy’s ability to induct major surface combatants depends on how quickly funds are allocated for capital procurements, it is nonetheless on track to induct these vessels at an unprecedented scale. However, to make life hell for the PLAN in the IOR, the Navy needs a strong fleet of SSNs and AIP-equipped SSKs.

Indian Navy Drop Plans for Integrating DRDO's Experimental AESA Radar on Rafale-M Fighters
The decision comes after assessing that the cost of integrating a new radar system onto the Rafale-M would be prohibitively expensive and could result in further delays to the project.
It appears that France is reluctant to integrate India's UTTAM radar into the Rafale jets, preferring to sell their own radar systems to maximize profits. The Indian-made GaN-based UTTAM AESA radar would have significantly enhanced the Rafale’s capabilities for both the Indian Navy and Air Force. Not only is the UTTAM radar more powerful and resistant to jamming, but with Indian radar and mission computer integration, Rafales would also be capable of deploying a broader range of weapons, including those from India, Israel, and Russia.

The redesign of warships showcased at DefExpo focuses more on stealth, possibly at the expense of systems like the AK-630 CIWS. In my opinion, since these ships can strike targets from 500-800 km away, sacrificing a bit of stealth for one or two CIWS systems would be a fair trade-off.
It looks like the ships are equipped with 16 VLSRSAM cells, which should be sufficient, especially since they aren't likely to be deployed on the frontlines. Their role could include patrolling the Bay of Bengal or blockading Pakistan from a distance of 800 km, or even hunting down enemy merchant fleets.
That said, ships of this size typically have a combat endurance of only about 10 days. That's why I hope we've developed fast turnaround bases in places like the Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep to extend their operational range.
