I have to agree with xabbarus as well although the chinese option is more favourable, i do think india is also a good power to have this submarine, and with it india would be untouchable by the pakistani navy, this submarine could take out everything single handed.
However each submarine costs around $1.5 billion and your looking at a fair amount more to keep it in service parts weapons crew training ect, the indian economy is good but i think it does lack alot of strengh to support such a large powerful vessel for many years.
For china and india this submarine would be a great addition to thier fleet, they have the most powerfullest attack submarine in the world in thier hands, who wouldnt be happy? bar the americans.
