How about going for A Queen Elizabeth class carriers or one of the French carrier offered By DCNS

QE would cost India US$3 billion.And its radar system isnt as good is what i found on searching.I am talking about the british QE class carrier which India had shown interest in.But Navy wasnt satisfied.
How good are the french carriers??? 

India didnt have an option after their initial Air Defense Ship was not taking off due to stiff opposition from IAF and IN was hell bent upon realizing its dream of 3 carriers each for one command. Long story

I am listening...go on tell me. 

Y

You know how defense deals work, any ways it will be a sharp weapon in the Navy for a while.

I have a little idea.But you could elaborate on that.

Govt. Auditors? I also have some experience with them from my business. They are good people because they guard against over spending and acts as checks and balance against Govt.

But sometimes due to over enthusiasm and having no practical experience (they are totally theoretical) they do stupid things. Their calculations example is as follows "I gave you five and you took five, so now you owe me ten".!!

I wanted to send you one SOS...
Thanks.So you mean that was an over estimation??

 

Pata nahi neend Arahai hai

Oh yeah buy one and then put it in your bath tub and play with it like a squeaky.
Ab friday bazar mein squeaky ACs ke squeaky hi toh milenge.

 

The short answer: NO
even more so considering the time that the deal for the Gorshkov was made.
Later the US offered the Kittyhawk; but she had little residual life left; the cost of any Life Extension Program prohibitive, cost of operation much more Huge; and then the US was not considered to be a reliable supporting Ally.

Now things are different on many counts, but then one cannot get a similar Carrier for USD 2.33 Billion.

So is this the best beast in sea???

So is this the best beast in sea???

'Best' is simply a relative expression. She can do what she is supposed to do in her part of the world.

So we have something called owner's pride and neighbor's envy??

Frankly...what are the aircrafts its going to carry??
Are some aircrafts also included in the deal???Because i think i did read it somewhere.

 

[hkdas]

As if it was lack of an aircraft carrier that was hampering us from engaging Sri lanka.

to attack Sri Lanka india doesn't need AC. 

Panther squadron is yet to dominate Indian Ocean like its glory old days of 1971. Sri Lanka will behave differently once they feel the presence of INS Vikramaditya breathing over their necks. String Pearls shredder, indeed.

in 1971 india had AC INS vikranth.

 

[Star Wars]

When will the Carrier reach India ?

 

[Green Angel]

Atleast,we get some sort of competetion from our enemy now,..............Hurray 
Question is How would you defend "AIRCRAFT CARRIER FROM CARRIER KILLER MISSILE" ?

 

[kaykay]

From where you get this stupid data ?

stupid data??? Atleast google before call it stupid.

Marking a new high in India-Russia strategic cooperation, the Defence Minister Shri AK Antony today commissioned the completely refurbished 44,500 tonne carrier Admiral Gorshkov into the Indian Navy as INS Vikramaditya at an impressive ceremony at sub zero temperature in the wind- swept Sevmash Shipyard in the beautiful city of Severodvinsk in Russia. Snow flakes kept falling as the ceremony was held.

Speaking at the event, Shri Antony said INS Vikramaditya would significantly enhance the reach and capability of the Indian Navy. He said, the country has a rich maritime history and the Indian Ocean has guided our fate over the centuries. “India’s economic development is dependent on the seas and safeguarding the nation’s maritime interests is central to our national policy. Aircraft carriers have been part of the Indian Navy’s force structure since our independence and have effectively served the country over the past five decades or so. The induction of
‘Vikramaditya’ with its integral MiG29K fighters and Kamov-31 helicopters, not only reinforces this central policy, but also adds a new dimension to our Navy’s operational capabilities. The meaning of ‘Vikramaditya’, which literally translates into “Strong as the Sun” is complemented by the Ship’s motto –“Strike Far, Strike Sure”,he said.

Reflecting the mood at the ceremony, Shri Antony said, ‘the event realizes the vision of capability-based transformation of the Indian Navy that was conceived more than a decade ago’. Calling it a Red Letter Day in the history of India- Russia cooperation, Shri Antony said this relationship remains a matter of the highest
priority for both nations for our mutual benefit and as a factor of global peace and stability.

“The successful culmination of Project 11430 truly symbolizes the time-tested Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between our two great nations. The Project has propelled the strategic partnership between our nations to a new level. The relationship between our two countries based on mutual trust and belief has withstood the test of time and the result is for the entire world to see in the form of ‘Vikramaditya’. As the ship sails into its home waters in the Indian Ocean Region, INS ‘Vikramaditya’ will be a befitting tribute to our long- standing relationship”, he said.

Describing the Project 11430 as a unique one, Shri Antony said, it was a challenging task for both the Russian and the Indian sides and congratulated the entire team for converting the ‘Dream Project’ into a reality. “The transformation of INS ‘Vikramaditya’ is an engineering marvel, which has tested the professionalism, capability and perseverance of the Indian Navy and the Russian industry, especially the Sevmash Shipyard”, he said and expressed confidence that all possible support would be extended by Russia to ensure that the ship serves India effectively and
efficiently for the duration of its expected operational life cycle.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral DK Joshi said the INS Vikramaditya will bridge the time-gap that may come up between the INS Viraat and the Indigenously built aircraft carrier Vikrant.It will also help achieving our medium term goal of operating two aircraft carriers. A large number of dignitaries including the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Mr Dmitry Rogozin and Defence Minister Mr Shoigu, the Chief of Naval Staff Admiral DK Joshi, the Indian Ambassador to Russia Shri Ajay Malhotra, the Defence Secretary Shri RK Mathur, the DG
Acquisition Shri SB Agnihotri were present on the occasion.

Mr Rogozin said INS Vikramaditya symbolises the close friendship between India and Russia and expressed confidence that it will grow in the coming years.

I have read that the aircraft carrier will normally carry 20 Mig-29K.

In a war situation would be possible to increase this number to 30 to give a far more potent air-group capability?

Shoddy journalism.
Journalist source would be RAW
If you add 1 billion in above cost then you will get Nimitz class Super Carrier.
IAC-1 is planned cost is $500 million dollar which grew to near about $850 million dollar then how can aircrafts, helicopters, SAM, CIWS, Radar would cost more than $4 billion dollar.
