India's Aircraft Carrier Program Faces Setbacks

India wants to build bigger and better aircraft carriers, but things aren't going as planned.

They're currently using carriers that limit how far and how much their airplanes can carry.

The new carrier, INS Vishal, needs special technology from the US called EMALS to launch planes.

However, the US is taking a long time to provide this technology due to export rules and cost.

Now, building the new carrier could be delayed, so India is working on developing its own EMALS technology or exploring other options.

If they can't improve their carriers, India might have to rely more on submarines.
