India announces $ 3 billion tender due to insolvency of local suppliers

A war of nerves broke out between senior Indian Navy officials and the Ministry of Defense of that country over a possible cancellation of the 3 billion-dollar landing ship replacement program. The reason was the insolvency or pre-bankruptcy of the majority of local enterprises that entered the tender.

Despite requests from several naval officials not to cancel the purchase of four locally manufactured universal landing ships worth about $ 3 billion, the Indian Ministry of Defense is threatening to nullify the tender. This was reported by the Military Newsletter Defense News with reference to a senior Indian Navy official.

The Ministry of Defense wants to annul the results of the competition, because one of the last two applicants has faced a serious financial crisis. Considering the fact that another company was suspended from participation due to bankruptcy, this arrangement leaves only one - no alternative - participant.

Competition goes 15 years

After the initial competition was canceled in 2012, the Ministry of Defense again announced a tender in 2017. After receiving both commercial and technical applications, as well as their fivefold revaluation, the Indian MoD again threatens to close the project amid problems of Reliance Naval and Engineering Limited (RNEL), which revealed a significant debt behind it and a rejection of the debt settlement plan by a consortium of bankers.

Despite requests from journalists, MO officials declined to comment.

For the construction of the landing ships, the Indian company L&T Ltd has teamed up with Navatia from Spain, while its rival RNEL has established a partnership with the Naval Group from France. It was planned that the new Indian universal amphibious ships would be approximately 30.000-ton helicopter carriers with the possibility of delivery to the landing point of the army battalion, as well as tanks and armored personnel carriers.

If the Ministry of Defense cancels the much-needed program, this will signal that the agency is not interested in lobbying and promoting the Make in India initiative.

- The senior representative of the Confederation of Industrial Chambers of India commented on the situation.

If New Delhi cancels the tender, this will be the second time in the last 15 years.

Apparently, they do not really need ships.

Apparently, they do not really need ships.

I know a little Hindus ... ships of the "local" built by them - Definitely not needed!
Let them buy from us ... at the same time, We will build our own quality shipyards, I really hope!

[Honest Citizen]

At the same time, We will build our own quality shipyards, I really hope!

paraphrasing Uncle Fyodor: "To sell something unnecessary, you must first buy something unnecessary" ...
You say, let "ours buy" ... Is it news to you that Indians want to buy with technology? And how are we going to build our shipyards? We are already abandoning the ocean-going fleet. From a good life?
So before the conclusion of the contract they will be like "monkey and glasses" from Krylov's fable. They will say “yes” ten times and “no” as many times, and then, as usual, twisting the hands of the suppliers, they will still get dirty ...
Moreover, shipbuilding is not our "strong point" ...

[Hunter 2]

Oh well ... But do not answer the question ... how many warships did the Indians buy (order) from Russia?
What the Hindus want - Even the Hindus don't know! With their engineering and technical personnel ... you need to produce inexpensive pots, maybe the brothers can buy it - for the next maidan!
ps about Atomokhod in leasing - do not forget.

[Honest Citizen]

about Atomokhod in leasing - do not forget.

Leshenka, take off the pink glasses, because as Osya Bender used to say: "Kitty, take care of your pince-nez, now they will beat us" ...
Since you ran into the school, hiding from the rain, I will tell you that the Indians bought the floating from us only after the collapse of the Union, it suddenly went to Ukraine.
What the Indians want - they know that. They want to follow the path of China. So that they would build a ship, they would build shipyards, they gave them technologies, and at the same time they were satisfied with "thank you very much white gentleman".
In this case, that would be built in the shipyards worked for food specialists from the country of origin, and their "Fuhrer's", ie, bosses, and even their "stoop" (in terms of labor, nigga, the sun is still high) daily.
You wrote above that you know Indians ... Have you already worked like this?
And now, a repetition of mother teaching.
How will we build our shipyards?
And, by the way, about the nuclear-powered ship on leasing ... Having it in the fleet and being able to use it is probably different things ...
And Indian pilots have repeatedly proved this, To be able to lift a car into the air and fight on it ... The same goes for the nuclear-powered ship.

I’ll tell you that the Indians bought from us floating only that, after the collapse of the Union, it suddenly departed to Ukraine.

They HIRED the first boat with us somewhere in 1980, if so, then I stood next to her on the pier in Vladivostok.
But already under the "shit" Indians wanted to extend the lease, but it was not in the interests of our "probable" friends.
Ours said - return back!
Returned.
Went to the nails ...
And there were rockets on it.
Winged. Those that have become Brahmos over time.

AU ... Citizen !!! You did not mix up the coast? What I am you ... Lyoshenka ??? (intentionally answered rudeness to rudeness. We didn’t switch to you. Have respect, communicate correctly ... or have you not been taught this on your collective farm?
Now - open Google - see what Russia has built for India. Start with Frigates 11356 ... and take a closer look at dates ...
I’m warning ... once again, unlearn something like “Lyoshenka” “hid from the rain at school” “take off your pink glasses” - you will regret it. The Internet is great - but ... sometimes we are so close that it’s not worth being rude.

Alexei, don’t pay attention to this “honest citizen” ... he is just as “honest” - as from a confusion ... Good wife!

[TermNachTer]

No, well, you can understand them purely from a human point of view - the little calf is quite small (only 3 billion), not enough for everyone. And you will eat one - you will choke, however - the Russian national sign.

[Kontrik]

Yes, Indians .... Most of your population lives in poverty and dirt .. And you in the military-industrial complex, you buy all the toys and saw the military budget creepy ..
Indira Gandhi is missing you!

[Nycomed]

To have her Sikhs kill for the second time?

[Arthur 85]

Sith? Damn, is this a documentary? And what about Obi Wan, where was he?

[Honest Citizen]

Most of your population live in poverty

Well, in our country, the majority of the population does not live in "prosperity" ... And production is "optimized", and budgets are sawing, and "guano" is poured into their ears from TV screens ...
We do not have enough Stalin at the helm.

[rocket757]

They wanted the best, but it turns out how .... but how does it turn out?

[Lexus]

If New Delhi cancels the tender, this will be the second time in the last 15 years.

It is possible to shoot the endless epic "Dancing with ..." in Bollywood for 100500 plots of Indian tenders.

[Livonetc]

Indians need to say thanks anyway!
At one time, with their contracts, they raised the military-industrial complex of Russia.
In general, always Welcome the heirs of Mahatma Gandhi!

[swzero]

I agree with the procurement of Talvars, Warsaw women and the actual construction of vikramadity from scratch; they helped our enterprises a lot in difficult years, allowing them to retain personnel and production chains. The same can be said about UVZ and the Sukhoi Design Bureau. The purchase of an air group for Vikramadity and the modernization of the MiG-21 helped save the MiG design bureau from death. As for the transfer of technology, they had no effect, India does not export weapons, moreover, locally produced equipment turned out to be more expensive than ours. As for their constant attempts to bargain for favorable conditions, all the same, the equipment goes to them at prices much higher than those at which the Moscow Region buys it and pays for it in currency.

[Livonetc]

T90 without an Indian order would not have become so successful, or perhaps UVZ itself could have resisted, in principle, thanks to the Indian order.
Currently, over 1400 T90 machines have already been shipped for export.

[Chaldon48]

That's for sure, the Indian order for T-90 was saved by our factory and PAK-50 started with their order. And the fact that they amuse their pride is their problems, ours must be more pragmatic and bend our line of everything.

[Kerensky]

due to possible cancellation of the program for the replacement of universal landing ships worth $ 3 billion.

That is, they have something and this needs to be updated. I lagged behind life - and what do they have now?

[Kerensky]

INS "Jalashva" Amphibious transport dock, type "Austin"

Well, enough for them to teach. Where are they going to land?

[swzero]

so the boat is already in the air breathing, since 71 years in service. And the other landing craft did not go far.
