It involves indigenous construction of six modern conventional submarines with contemporary equipment, weapons & sensors including Fuel-Cell based AIP (Air Independent Propulsion Plant) etc.
AIP technology allows conventional diesel-electric submarines to remain underwater for longer, enhancing its lethality.
P-75I submarine project – estimated at over $5.5 billion – is the first acquisition India has undertaken through its Strategic Partnership procurement model.
INS Arihant
The indigenously-built nuclear-propelled submarine is capable of firing ballistic missiles and can stay under water for months.
