Many nations that are building ships for the first time are usually late in finishing them. In many cases the shipyard has to be built, and the employees trained from scratch. India is not the only country which had problems.
And then there is the problem of keeping them busy. Many of the third world nations having built some ships don't have more work for the workers which end up being laid off. They usually find other jobs and the process has to start all over again.
Its not easy to build up a military industrial complex. Even in the United States engineers are laid off as soon as the plans are done. The old movie Shipyard Sally tells the tale of Clydebank shipbuilders.
