Indian Defence Minister announced on 23rd Feb 11 that the delivery of the first SCORPENE will be delayed to 2015 instead of the planned December 2012 dates.
The delays are believed to be contributed by the difficulties in finalising the contractual terms and disagreements between Mumbai's Mazagon shipyard and DCNS.
With this new development, all six SCORPENEs will be operational with the Indian Navy after 2021, only IF delivery of one boat per year after 2015 is materialised.
Well, with the French, you need write everything down in the Contracts..otherwise, the first two years are only to get a mutual understanding and common agreement to each words in the Contract.
Good Luck Indian Navy.
