Purchased from Russia aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov cost India $2.33 bln including $29 mln for services and $85 mln for technical documentation, wrote New Delhi on Sept 15.

According to the newspaper referred to an undisclosed Indian naval officer, through 3-year long negotiations India has paid almost three times more than $974 mln initially specified in the contract of 2004. The source said $29 mln were paid to Russian party for accommodation services of 40 Indian experts who have been monitoring the ship repair and upgrade progress for 5 years; technical documentation cost additional $85 mln.

India purchased the full package of documentation to provide maintenance of the ship by own capabilities. Thus and so, India intends neither to repair nor to conduct scheduled maintenance of the carrier in Russia like it is done with Project 877EKM submarines.

According to the source, purchase of full package of technical documentation will cost India less than regular overhauls of the ship in Russia.
