The Indian Navy development plan provides for the construction of a third aircraft carrier - with a nuclear power plant and an electromagnetic catapult. However, a more difficult task is the creation of fighter jets for the aircraft carrier​

The development plans for the Indian naval forces provide for the commissioning of a third aircraft carrier, which is to receive a nuclear power plant as well as electromagnetic catapults. This item is included in the Technology Perspective Capability Roadmap 2025, that was updated for the first time since 2018.

Even the USSR could not create a nuclear aircraft carrier. The first Soviet nuclear aircraft carrier of the project 1143.7 "Ulyanovsk" was laid down in Nikolaev on the penultimate day of 1987, but they did not have time to finish it before the collapse of the USSR. The only country besides the USA that created a nuclear aircraft carrier is France.
