According to an Indian Navy
statement, the aircraft carrier INS
Vikramaditya is yet to be delivered
to the Indian Navy. The ship was
put to sea for trials from June to
September 2012. During the sea
trials over 108 days, the main
propulsion plant could not
complete the 'full power trials' due
to defects encountered on 'boiler
furnace brickwork' at higher speeds
The aircraft carrier commissioning
in the Indian Navy is now
scheduled in the last quarter of
2013.
The final cost of the Project agreed
upon in March 2010 is 2.3 billion
USD. The reason for increase from
the initial cost decided in January
2004 was due to increase in the
scope of the repair and
modernization work.
This information was given by
Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in
a written reply to Shri Sivasami C
and Shri Sushil Kumar Singhin Lok
Sabha. Asian Defense: Indian Navy aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya is yet to be delivered
