Errr ... Project 76U* is about adding the VLS Plug during refits, *after* they have desi-AIP integrated and then in operation for a few years - so, 2nd Plug for the Project 75U boats (so during their 2nd refit) and 1st plug for the Project 75 "Improved" ones (so during their 1st Refit)!!Maitya-ji: Couple of points...There corrected for you ... seriously, how difficult is to accommodate a VLS plug especially when much larger AIP plug is considered kosher to integrate it during a major refit...
* The six Project 75 Kalvari Class will feature DRDO AIP during their refits. They will all become Project 75U
* Project 76U will be moot, as Project 76 boats will come with DRDO AIP or likely lithium-ion batteries from date of commissioning.
*Note - Fictitious nomenclature
