Indian Navy Begins Trials For Building 6 Advanced Submarines In An INR 60,000 Crore Tender
The Indian Navy has reportedly launched trials for manufacturing advanced submarines, floating through a Rs 60,000 crore tender to advance the nation’s traditional submarine fleet.
The Indian Navy has issued a tender to Indian shipyards Larsen & Toubro and Mazagaon Dockyards Limited to build six submarines in collaboration with foreign suppliers.
The Rs 60,000 crore agreement aims to construct six stealth submarines readied with Air Independent Propulsion tech to enable underwater operations.
The trials commenced in March with an Indian Navy delegation visiting Germany’s Kiel to assess the Air Independent Propulsion mechanism by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems at a navy facility based in Germany, as reported by industry sources to ANI.
The German company’s connection with India’s Defense Ministry’s Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited demonstrates a commitment to at least 60% indigenous content in the vessels.
The next phase of trials will take place in Spain, where Larsen & Toubro and Navantia will demonstrate their AIP systems by the end of June.
It is worth emphasising that the Spanish corporation will help the Indian team gain access to Spain’s Navy facilities.
Navantia and Larsen & Toubro had previously signed a Teaming Agreement (TA) for submitting a techno-commercial bid for the Indian Navy’s P75 (India) submarine programme.
This programme aims to acquire diesel-electric attack submarines outfitted with fuel cells and an Air-Independent Propulsion System, thereby increasing the Navy’s operating capability.
