Sadly, high resolution pics seem to be unavailable.

There will be 4 ships of this class, and another 5 ships (built by Pipavav) will add to the
fleet thereafter. Total 9 new stealth OPVs.

The Pipavav-built OPVs will be atleast 2,500 tons in displacement, up from the current 2,250 tons
displacement of GSL-built Saryu.

Here is the real-color rendering of the pic posted on Page #1

 
We can place PJ-10 BrahMos & Barak-1 VLS missiles on it and market it as a guided missile
corvette better than Type-056 corvette China is building - Type-056 displaces only 1,300 tons and
comes with 4 x C803 ASCMs and 8-16 FL-3000N short-range SAMs.

We can easily beat it with 4 x PJ10 BrahMos ASCMs and 16 x Barak-1 SAMs with 2,500+ tons displacement.

Mate, we can only export when our own needs are fulfilled, already the CAG report have said that IN has very less nos. of warships than it's sanctioned strength. Currently 4 Saryu class (of which one inducted) & 5 Pipavav OPVs are under construction, any thought on export lines can only fructify when first our needs are fulfilled as we are the largest regional navy of the IOR & is always look upto to secure the Indian Ocean.
