  Delhi class destroyer
The three Indian Navy destroyers of the Delhi class are the most modern and largest to be fully built in India.
The Delhi class is a hybrid of Soviet and Western designs, incorporating elements of the Sovremenny class destroyer, the Rajput class (Kashin-II) destroyer, and the Godavari class frigate.
The Delhi Class destroyers are armed with the SET-65E; anti-submarine, active & passive homing torpedo to 8.1 nautical miles; 15 km at 40 knots with a 205 kg warhead and the Type 53-65; passive wake homing torpedo to 10.3 nautical miles; 19 km at 45 knots with a 305 kg warhead.

The Delhi Class destroyers are armed with the SET-65E; anti-submarine, active and passive homing torpedo to 8.1n miles; 15 km at 40 knots with a 205 kg warhead and the Type 53-65; passive wake homing torpedo to 10.3n miles; 19 km at 45 knots with a 305 kg warhead.
Comments: The Delhi Class are the largest warships ever to be built in India and primarily act as command and control platforms for task groups and as screening escorts for the aircraft carriers.
The Delhi Class is also capable of operating in a NBC environment and Radar-Cross-Section reduction is presumed to be minimal, to the extent that some sharp angles have been flattened.

Modern destroyers, also known as guided missile destroyers, are equivalent in tonnage but drastically superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War II era, capable of carrying nuclear missiles that are able to destroy cities.
Destroyers were involved in the skirmishes that prompted the Battle of Heligoland Bight, and filled a range of roles in the Battle of Gallipoli, acting as troops transports and fire support vessels, as well as their fleet-screening role.
The destroyers (as well as frigates) are, as always, the workhorses of the fleet, the former optimised for air defence and the latter for surface and subsurface warfare.

These vessels are a follow-on to the Type 15 Delhi Class destroyer and construction is expected to begin at Mazagon Dockyard Ltd. in 2005.
The P15A destroyer will possess enhanced stealth features and land-attack capabilities and is expected to add a new dimension in naval warfare for the Indian Navy, along with the Talwar {Krivak III} Class destroyer and the 'new' Nilgiri {Project 17} Class frigate.
Construction of the first P15A destroyer commenced with plate cutting on 12 March 2003, with the keel being laid in September 2003 and the vessel (to be named Kolkata) was launched on 30 March 2006 at Mazagon Dock, Mumbai.

 Destroyers
In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).
At the beginning of the 21st century, destroyers are the heaviest surface combatant vessels in general use, with only four nations (the United States, Russia, France and Peru) operating cruisers and none operating battleships.
Modern destroyers are equivalent in tonnage but drastically superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War II era, capable of carrying nuclear missiles able to destroy cities in a very small volley.

 Destroyer
Once destroyers became more than just catchers guarding an anchorage it was realised that they were also ideal to perform the role of torpedo boats themselves, so they were fitted with torpedo tubes as well as guns.
The US ''Porter'' class adopted twin five-inch guns, and the subsequent ''Mahan'' class and Gridley class destroyer''Gridley'' class (the latter of 1934) increased the number of torpedo tubes to 12 and 16 respectively.
The British built a series of destroyers the A Class to I class destroyerI Class which were about 1400 tons standard displacement, had four 4.7 inch guns and eight torpedo tubes; the American ''Benson'' class of 1938 similar in size, but carried five 5-inch guns and ten torpedo tubes.

The 'Godavari' class frigates are primarily ASW vessels and even the Delhi class destroyers, although "stretched" variants of Kashins in Indian Navy service, are primarily ASW vessels with distribution of armaments similar to United States Spruance class destroyers.
However considering the emerging sophistication of future generations of nuclear submarines it may be logical to opt for destroyer sized vessels similar to Japanese 'Haruna' and improved 'Shirane' class, with the aft flight deck extending to one-third of the length of the ship.

At present, the Indian Navy has all major types of warships: aircraft carriers, destroyers and frigates, armed with missile and artillery or only artillery weapons, antisubmarine corvettes, diesel powered submarines, missile and conventional type boats, minesweepers.
Having destroyed the main target in a group of ships, the missiles left attack other ships of the group, eliminating the possibility of using two missiles on one target.
China being a most likely rival of New Delhi in the arms and economic race, even having Sovremenny type destroyers with 8 Moskit anti-ship cruise missiles (SS-N-22 Sunburn), aircraft carriers and diesel powered Kilo-class submarines in its navy forces, could not compete with the Indian Navy.

 Defence Notes
Cruiser is a class of traditional warship, second in size only to battleships; so called because they were built for high speed and long “cruising” distances.
Destroyer is a warship smaller than a cruiser but bigger than a frigate, able to operate independently or as an escort for larger naval vessels and convoys.
Indian Delhi Class destroyers are equipped with 16 Kh-35 Uran anti-ship missiles in four quadruple launchers.

Granted they are not even close to the Aegis class destroyers (run the comparisons if you please), but they can be built in India at a fraction of the cost.
Thus the Sovremenny class have a much higher “Fuel Consumption” about 500 Tonnes per Day on Full Power whereas the “Delhi Class” it is about 250 Tonnes.
I agree with Rocky that the Delhi class destroter will probably be cheaper, and as you said it might even be faster.

Type 1022 is currently being upgraded to eliminate maintenance problems and increase reliability.
The number of Type 1022 radars ordered by the UKRN exceeds the number of those in service; a factor emphasized by the removal of the Type 1022 radar from the obsolete training hulk HMS Bristol and its replacement by a Type 965 antenna.
Support costs and spares consumption by the Type 1022s are reported to be high, explaining the high stock-holding for this equipment, the stripping of HMS Bristol and the urgency of the new upgrade program.

In the mid-1990s, India was preparing for a major modernization program that was to include completion of three 5,000-ton Delhi-class destroyers, the building of three 3,700-ton frigates based on Italian Indian Naval Ship (INS)-10 design, and the acquisition of four hydrographic survey ships.
