Re: Project 75I - It Begins

P75I must go to private Industry, likely L&T. Let MDL/Naval War ship design work on P76 as an extended Scorpene with larger displacement having space for all domestic tech required for future need. Maybe a 3000/3500 ton sub or even smaller, but must be domestic design with locally developed tech.
