1 May 2007 (FIDSNS)
“There is no major delay in the delivery schedule as has been projected in a section of the media. It has only slipped by three or four months which can be expected in a complex programme like this one, the Russian defence minister has assured our defence minister that there will be no big delay in the delivery schedule of the aircraft carrier,” chief of naval staff Admiral Sureesh Mehta said during presentation of bravery awards to Naval personnel at INS Kunjali in Mumbai.
He also mentioned that the work on the first indigenous aircraft carrier was also on track at Kochi shipyard and it will join the fleet in 2011.
