the keel of INS Sahyadri was laid in March 2003 and it was taken out for sea trials earlier this year.

Nine years from keel to delivery? I guess that's better than their tank program.

Please don’t forget to drop your thanks to GE to delay delivery of LM2500 powerplant for ships thats upto 2years.

Eh, the U.S. isn't much better, we have been working on the Osprey for DECADES, it takes ungodly amount of time to build a destroyer (a ship that is suppose to be quick and easy to build).

Hell, during WW2 the P-51 Mustang took, lets be fair, about 2 years to design and build, and another 2 to really impact the war. USS Laffey took less than a Year to build and field.

So the Modern Day shipbuilding is nothing compared to what it once was.
