Prime Minister Modi will commission INS Kalvari into Indian Navy on 12Dec the vessel is the first scorpene class submarine to be pressed into service; Navy will have 6 such submarines by 2020.
Kalvari, first of the six Scorpene-class stealth submarines of the Indian Navy, these stealth submarines are being built under the Project 75, in collaboration with DCNS, France and manufactured by Mazagon Dock Limited.
Given the numerous challenging tasks and roles assigned to the Indian Navy, these stealth vessels will help the Navy "maintain adequate operational force levels and be future ready in terms of naval defence technology.
Kalvari, a name steeped in the long and glorious tradition of its illustrious predecessor, an erstwhile Russian 'Foxtrot' class submarine. The remaining five boats of the Project 75 would be delivered by the yard to the Navy by 2020.
