No,

The Vikramaditya was a converted Kiev class ship, which was meant to be a missile-carrying STOVL carrier. So, it was smaller in size and had inherent design limitations compared to Liaoning, which was meant to be a ‘pure’ carrier and was significantly larger in size.

Hence, the refit ended up hurting India badly.
