India Proposes Extending INS Vikramaditya Servicing Contract
India has reportedly suggested servicing aircraft carrier, the INS Vikramaditya, jointly together with Russia’s Sevmash shipyard over the next 40 years.
According to the shipyard, the current servicing contract is for 20 years, but that Indian naval officials have proposed to extend that timeframe.
“Our Indian partners have proposed to conduct all service work on the ship together with Sevmash,” the White Sea-based shipbuilder was quoted as saying.
India took delivery of the refitted aircraft carrier last month after prolonged delays and a ballooned budget.
Sevmash representatives are scheduled to visit India next month as part of an intergovernmental military cooperation commission, according to Ria Novosti.
