Project 76 / Amur

there is speculation that the Amur might be built in India. First 6 Scorpene will be built as part of Project-75 at the Mazagoan Dock, and later 6-8 Amur (with 10 VLS Brahmos) will be built most likely by L&T as part of Project-76. As part of 30 year sub building program India plans on 24 subs of the SSK type. With 6 Scorpene plus 6-8 Amur, the remaining 12-10 subs will be of an indigenous design based on the best of what Scorpene and Amur has to offer. The Russians are hesitant on allowing license production for the Amur, and have stated that India should purchase a few of those vessels from their shipyard. As of 2005 here is one Amur being built for export purpose.
