MDL is currently building 6 French Scorpion Diesel attack class submarines for Indian Navy in its docks and will be delivered to Indian navy
between 2016 and 2021.
Interestingly dying defence PSU Hindustan shipyard has again been selected to build last submarine under Project 75I . Hindustan shipyard has failed
to complete upgrades to a kilo class submarine INS Sindhukirti which first went to dry docks there in 2006 and has remained there till now .
Hindustan shipyard which was lying idle at that time was selected to carry out mid life upgrades to INS Sindhukirti a kilo class diesel submarine of
russian origin , but according to media reports workmanship on the submarine was so bad that Indian Navy has termed it “unfixable” and unlikely to
ever enter into service again .
Sinking of refitted INS Sindhurakshak a kilo class submarine in 2013 has severally affected Indian navies under sea water capability and INS
Sindhukirti another kilo submarine which is unlikely to enter into service again , which brings down the numbers to 8 kilo class submarines and 4
older German made HDW submarines , Indian navy is left with effective fleet of only 12 Diesel Submarines and Operational availability is only 5-6
submarines at a time .
