India re-releases LPD tender to private-sector shipyards - IHS Jane's 360

India's Ministry of Defence (MoD) reissued a request for proposal (RfP) in mid-September to three local private sector shipyards to build four amphibious assault ships for an estimated INR250 billion (USD4.16 billion.

The RfP to ABG, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), and Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering - all located on India's west coast - seeks a builder for 40,000-tonne landing platform docks (LPDs) for the Indian Navy (IN). Completion is requested by 2027.

IN officials said all three contenders would be permitted to enter into joint ventures (JVs) with foreign original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to design and build the LPDs.

what is the specification?
 
Releasing the tenders to local industry is good thing but I think it's more important that the whole process is expedited quickly.
 
what is the specification?
dnt no the specification but 3 point highlight from the above

1. 40,000-tonne landing platform docks (LPDs)
2. INR250 billion (USD4.16 billion) ---
3. Completion is requested by 2027
So around $1 billion per ship although it is built in India where the labor cost is to low
