Wasn’t there talk of selling her to India for their navy?

If they were going to sell the Kitty Hawk, it should be sold to either Japan or Taiwan, under the most generous lend-lease style purchase agreement.

Yes there was some talk about that. I guess they decided to stick with the russian ship instead.

It appears the talk of the sale to India was a fabrication on the Indians so they could pressure the Russians on their rip-off massive cost overrun refit of the Gorshkov for the Indians.
