According to well placed sources, while work on Arihant, the first nuclear submarine that was launched in 2010, was going on as scheduled, construction of the hull and sub components of the remaining two submarines was also underway. Considerable experience has been built from the development of Arihant, and the successive two submarines would be considerably more potent with more power and punch.



I'm not sure of the 2nd boat, but the 3rd one certainly has a plug to accomodate more SLBM's. I guess the next batch of 3 subs (keeping in mind that 6 will be built and/or available) will be a new class. One just has to wait and see.
