The deal for purchasing the ship, rechristened as INS Vikramaditya, was signed in 2004 by the then NDA government at $974 million which was increased to final price of $2.35 billion in 2010.

The ship was originally commissioned by the erstwhile Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on December 20, 1987, and was decommissioned in 1996.

This view is reinforced by India’s bitter experience in acquiring the Vikramaditya from Russia, when the original price rose from US$974 million to $2.35 billion. Together with 45 MiG-29K aircraft and additional modifications, the overall price now sits somewhere between $6 billion and $7 billion.

$7 billion for an aircraft carrier and the fighter planes is not a bad deal. If India constructed a carrier themselves and bought the planes from the US or France, it would cost over $20 billion.

$7b for a 40 yr old non-nuclear used ex-Soviet junk aircraft carrier is a better deal?
