Just sort of superimpose this bit of news about "Subs for sale" with the news which appeared some time ago that MoD wanted to buy/build some subs at some foreign yard; while building some at some Indian (non-private) yard for the second line of subs (post Scorpene). May be you can come up with some guesses?
IMO, GoI must be taking a hard look at the proposal. The IN is especially interested in the AIP/Hydrogen cell tech. in the sub. Most other systems are as good as any other: Amur/Lada/Scorpene whatever.
