The Indian Navy continues to build up its forces. Yesterday, July 21, the portal navaltoday.com he reported that the Ministry of Defense of India has published a request for proposals (RFP) for new submarines.

As part of the upcoming tender, it is planned to purchase six new diesel-electric submarines with an air-independent propulsion system for the Indian Navy. The project was named Project-75 (I) and will be a continuation of the Project-75 program, under which six Kalvari (Scorpene) submarines were ordered. The new purchase is estimated at $5.4 billion.

The Kalvari-class submarines are being built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders as part of the thirty-year re-equipment plan Project-75, adopted in 1999. As part of the next stage of the Project 75 (I) plan, submarines for the Indian navy are planned to be built in an upgraded version — with vertical launchers for Brahmos missiles and an air-independent power plant.

The Ministry of Defense of India has chosen domestic shipyards Mazagaon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) and Larsen & Tubro (L&T) for the construction of promising submarines. They must submit their projects to the Indian Navy, which they will implement with one of the previously selected foreign contractors: the French Naval Group, the German TKMS, the Russian Rostec, the South Korean Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering( DSME), as well as the Spanish Navantia.
