Congrats to China on their chusian carrier.
Why do they need a catapult for a landing helicopter dock vessel ?

Because type 076 also launched J-35A.

Its capabilities need to be seen. It should be seen whether they are capable of blue water operations.
Is it nuclear powered?

NO. It doesn't need to be nuclear powered.

Despite a launch ceremony, the Type 076, now named Sichuan, do no look to have gone into the water, but that milestone looks to be imminent.

Can Chinese non nuclear aircraft carriers conduct naval mission in the Indian Ocean?

Being a 40,000 ton displacement ship, I'd think they are blue-water capable. In fact most large LHDs are. Brother @Jiangnan this is the Type 075 below I believe? How much larger is Type 076 Sichuan?
Type 075
Type 076

In international waters, they can. But being an amphibious LHD, it needs to get almost one mile close to shore - so they can launch a beach invasion. Amphibious means marine-capable tanks and APCs need to be launched from the back holds of the ship which swim to shore. Air assets like large/small helis and drones can also be launched within weight limits. The second picture above in post #12 for Type 076 shows various drones and from what I can gather, J35s which can be launched.

Only weight does not give blue water capabilities.

What sort of mission. China sends its SYP ship in IOR to monitor Indian missile test from International water. That is ok. However, if they come to IOR with any hostile motive, they will have to face volley of Brahmos, ATCR, LRASHM etc. China has no defence against it.
