It is still seaworthy and it will probably be in service with the PN until new subs replace them.
Why does everybody always forget the Sea Kings? They are superior ASW helicopters compared to Ka-28s and the bulk of Indian current carrier air group.

Seakings are not superiors !! They carry similar equipments to that of Kamovs .
Sea Kings are older helis and currently going upgradation. India ,in future, might switch to Kamov helis for heavy duty since Seakings have US made parts in them !!! After Indian Nuclear explosion US blocked the sell of Seaking spare parts .
Also Indian ALH Dhruv helis are gradullly inducted in navy . They also have a considerable ASW capability. They can carry sonars , radars, sonobuys , torpedoes , AShMs and depth charges !!!

Can it be compared to India's Kilos? Is it similar to the Agosta 90?

Indian Kilos are quiet, but they don't have electronic systems as advanced as the Agostas. I have seen the interiors of the Indian Kilos AND the Agostas. The Agostas look like a space station while the Kilos look pretty damn ancient.
well to my knowlidge, western ASW systems tends to be better than those in Kamovs, thougth im not rock solid. Also, Sea Kings have superior range and payload...
Well the IN air arm should also be considered. The Tu-142 maritime patrol aircarft ar pretty damn good and who knows if the IN will get P-3Cs.
And in the future I expect the P-17A to be equiped with Aster-15/30 which IN and MDBA was in talks for. Also the IN seems to be in talks for 3 more Talwar Class.

I think that India will get both the P-3C's and even the Talwar Class. However, you did forget to mention the fact that India will also lease two Backfires from Russia. I don't know when they will come, but those things can be a force multiplier.
