BARC and ECIL To Co-Develop PWR Control-Systems For 6 Projected SSNs of the Indian Navy
A tripartite memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the Indian Navy (IN), BARC and Hyderabad-based ECIL on July 10, 2023 in the presence of VADM Dinesh K Tripathi, FOC-in-C, Western Naval Command, and Dr Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Secretary Dept of Atomic Energy.
The MoU aims to facilitate indigenous development and production of 11 types of control-systems and their multifunctional display/control consoles for the IN’s projected six nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN). These include those used by the 90mWt pressurised water nuclear reactors.

Such systems were earlier imported from Russia’s JSC Concern Avrora SPA for the S-2, S-3 and S-4 SSGNs of the IN.
Trial-batches of the indigenously-developed and built control-systems will be delivered to the IN’s Hyderabad-based Defence Machinery Design Establishment (DMDE) for type-certification, following which formal procurement contracts will be inked. This step would go a long way towards furthering and augmenting self-reliance within the IN.
