NDTV reports that the Indian Navy’s next phase of shipbuilding includes three major warship projects collectively valued at about Rs 1 lakh crore. According to sources cited by NDTV, the proposals are currently in internal consultations and planning stages. The outlets says these rounds of discussions are taking place before the projects move into the formal defence acquisition process. NDTV does not provide detailed specifications for the warships, timelines, or named platforms in the excerpts shared. The reporting focuses on the procedural progress of the initiatives—describing that preliminary work is underway internally and that the projects have not yet entered the acquisition stage where procurement decisions are finalized. The two NDTV items describe the same development, with the second framed as the build-up taking shape, but both reference the same overall status: ongoing internal planning for three warship projects valued at around Rs 1 lakh crore. No information is given on funding breakdowns, contract award dates, or participating contractors.
