Ofcourse they can add that if they qualify DRDO AIP for Sub Based deployment after due testing. But adding any module post construction is not a good idea because it has impact on submarine performance , An more practical and easier approach would have been to use the proven French MESMA AIP and bui...

Re: Indian Navy News & Discussion - 03 July 2018
It is too early to say AIP can be added as no sea based trials has taken place for DRDO based AIP and unless these trails are done with prime requirement for safety is met you cant really guarantee these AIP will be qualified for submarine. Another thing is it is not a good idea to add AIP post subm...

No other 5th generation program fits India's bill. The fallout in the case of FGFA was on workshare. India was not getting the research ROI on the RnD dollars. Not really on workshare because FGFA was a JV along the line on Brahmos/MRSAM ( not a TOT program like MKI ) and HAL and IAF own Varthaman ...
