The government of India has more important things on its plate right now, but if you're interested in how the Admiral Gorshkov negotiations might play out, take a look at Galrahn's discussion. He partially translates a Russian article on the subject, which points out that if the carrier doesn't go to India, it's not likely to go anywhere. The Russian Navy doesn't want Gorshkov (and is apparently deeply ambivalent about the idea of building a carrier fleet in the short term), and the Chinese probably wouldn't want it, either. Accordingly, the Russians should probably be careful about antagonizing their only potential customer.
