I don't think so. It's a huge investment in the 8 S20s approx US $ 4 billion.
It was rumored the budget for Submarines was for $ 8-10 Bil.

There was also news that some old subs are also approved in the same meeting which approved the sale of S-20's along with the ATR's...

IMO the deal with the Chinese was for aprox $5 bil including other equipment & (approval) ATR's as well. So that still leaves $ 3 bil. for the western platforms.

If they had so much money why didn't they revive the U214 deal with Germany which was only 1.8 billion $
 
3 Agosta 90
2 Agosta 70
The issue PN is facing today is that the Agosta 70's need replacement. The 90's have been updated more 90's are unavailable. So if PN replaces the 2 70's then the operational cost will rise considerably. There are Two plans that can be thought off one is to continue using the 70's for some more time or to replace the entire fleet. The complication is that Pakistan has just increased its continental shelf so they require more subs...

The Greeks are willing to sell their fleet of U-214's which costs around $400-500mil per boat depending on usage.

that was for 3 boats and 10 years have lapsed. Price would have been double now...

The Agosta 70s are upgraded and still a potent platform. Sure everything has to be replaced but there's still life left in them. The French are not going to sell us any subs bcuz of the India factor plus the Agosta 90 spares supply chain has closed in France as DCN switches to scorpenes and merlins.
 
I won't be surprised that both Agosta 90 and 70 are retired in the future for a all Chinese sub fleet
