INS Vagir Scorpene class submarine during launching at Mazgaon Dock, Mumbai |
The Indian Navy is considering to reorder six Kalvari class submarines with the DRDO-developed AIP system and Lithium-ion batteries as well as more indigenous content that might see the French Naval Group to have a limited role in this program as Mazagaon Dock Shipbuilders has claimed to have successfully absorbed all critical transfer of technology that will be tasked with ensuring that the next round of Kalvari class submarines includes little or no input from France.
