Correction Guptaji, USSR built an aircraft carrier called Baku which was renamed to Admiral Gorshkov after the collapse of the Soviet union, as Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan, one of the ex republics of USSR.

Guptaji, Aircraft carriers are meant for countries with large number of colonies, which is a thing of the past or which has economic and strategic interests in large parts of the world. India, is a closed, inward looking economy with hardly any presence in the world economy. It is only when India becomes a global economic superpower with economic and strategic interests spanning across the world that India will need potent aircraft carriers and carrier battle fleet. Today, aircraft carriers are nothing but white elephants eating into the meager defense budget. To project power from Djibouti to Malacca Strait we don't need aircraft carrier but long range heavy strategic bombers and strike fighters. India, is itself in the shape of a massive aircraft carrier dominating one of the busiest sea lanes in the world. We need Tu22 M3M/Tu95 or B1 bombers, HALE drones and potent nuclear hunter killer submarines.
