India's Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) is expected to be inducted into the Indian Navy by 2022. The deadline to deliver the ship was 2018. Delay in getting aviation equipment from Russia caused the setback.

The progress on the construction of the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC-P71) project was reviewed by Indian Defence Secretary, Shri Ajay Kumar, on January 20, 2020, at Cochin Shipyard Limited.
