The Indian Government on Wednesday said the launch of the Navy’s indigenous aircraft carrier is expected to take place in 2013. A K Antony, India’s Defence Minister said, "The complexity of the project and this being the first ship of its kind being built in India, has led to timelines being extended. As per the phase-I, the first launch of the ship was envisaged in October, 2010. Delivery of the ship is currently envisaged in 2018". The delay in launch of the ship is due to receiving of steel plates and pre-launch equipment like diesel alternators and gearboxes.
