She is scheduled to decom in 2020 (thats the extended date due to the delays), so I don't think they will get past two operational carriers unless they start another Vikrant-class following the first. I doubt that though, the Vikrant will probably be a one off to learn from instead of a continuing build.

Vikrant will indeed serve as a proof of concept for Vishal which will be much larger to accommodate changes as well

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards
