Top 6 Biggest Upcoming Submarines Projects of Indian Navy
1.Arihant Class- Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN)
The Arihant Class is a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines being built for the Indian Navy.The lead Vessel of the class,INS Arihant was first launched in 2009 and began sea trails in December 2014.It is expected to commissioned in Early 2016 .Presently it is under sea trails.The Arihant-class submarine are being built under the US $2.9 billion Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project to design and build nuclear-powered submarines.They will be the first nuclear submarines designed and built by India.
The Arihant-class subs will generally 112m long and displaces 6,000 tonnes.The compliment is about 95 including officers and sailors.They can achieve maximum speed of 12-15 knots (22-28 km/h) when on surface and 24 knots(44km/h) when submerged.They are reported to be similar to Akula-class Submarine.The second Submarine in this class is INS Aridhaman after INS Arihant,It is expected to have sea trials in mid of 2017 and commissioned in late 2018.

2.Indigeneous SSN Class-Attak Submairne
The government of India Approved the construction of 6 nuclear powered submarines in February 2015.These will be designed by the Nvay’s in-house Directorate of naval Design and indigenously built in Shipbuilding Centre Vishkapatnam.Indian Government approved the project of 6 nuclear powered attack submarines and seven stealth frigated at the cost of about $16 billion.
It is expected that the new domestically build submarines are likely to be based on Akula-class submarines because India uses the Russian Nuclear Submarines INS Chakra for about 10 years on lease. The submarines will be powered by a Miniature pressurised water reactor(PWR) being developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Which has already supplied a similar 83 miniature reactor for the Arihan-class SSBNs.
The Government has 30-year diesel-electric submarine building plan,which envisage induction of 12 new conventional submarines by 2012 followed by another dozen by 2030.But with n submarines inducted till now,the government has decided to go in for six SSNs an 18 conventional vessels.Nuclear-powered Submarines (SSNs) are much deadlier than diesel-electric submarines since they do not need to surface every few days to get oxygen to recharge their batteries.
3.Akula Class-Attack Submairne
The Akula class submarines is a nuclear powered submarine first deployed by the Soviet union in 1986.It is being operated by three nations namely Soviet union,Russian Navy and Indian navy.India leased INS Chakra the Akula Class submarine from Russia.It was officially inducted into the Indian Navy on April 4,2012.Before leasing more than three hundred Indian Navy personnel were trained in Russia for the operation of the Akula II Submarine Nerpa.Later on it is named INS Chakra.
Russia said in December 2014 that it is ready to lease Indian more nuclear-powered submarines.In january 2015,it was reported India was involved in negotiations that underway with Russia to lease a second Akula class attack submarine.

4.Kalvari-Class-Attack Submarine
The Kalvari Class is a class of Submarine based On the Scorpene-class submarine. The diesel-electric powered Scorpene submarine to be called INS Kalvari after commissioning will undergo extensive sea trials before it is cleared to formally join the Indian Navy. The diesel-electric submarines are being built at the state-run Mazgaon docks in Mumbai; they are expected to be inducted into the Navy by 2018, about four years later than planned.
Project delayed by 4 years.The first submarine is planned to be in service by 2016 and the last by 2020.India plans to made 6 in total where 5 are under construction and 1 submarine named INS Kalvari has been launched to undergo sea trails on April 2015.
The project has also over-shot the budget by nearly Rs. 5,000 crore and is expected to cost about Rs. 23,000 crore. “One (Scorpene) submarine will be delivered every nine months,” said Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.Continue Reading…
5.Project 72I Class submarine-Attack Submarine
The Project 75I-class submarine is a follow on of the project 75 Kalvari-Class submarine for the Indian Navy.Indian navy has acquired 6 diesel-electric submarines under this project which features advanced Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system that enables the submarines to stay submerged for longer duration and increasing its operational range sustainability.All the 6 submarines are expected to be constructed in Indian Shipyards and the project costs around $8.1 Billion.In October 2014,The project got green signal from Defence Acquisition Council.
The Project 75I submarines will have vertical Laucnhing system that enable the submarine to carry Brahmos Supersonic cruise missile making it fully capable to do anti-surface and anti-ship warfare missions.The submarines will be armed with torpedoes and feature advanced stealth capabilities such as greater suppress noice and acoustics signature.
6.Swimmer Delivery Vehicle-Midget Submarine
The Indian Navy Swimmer delivery Vehicle(SDV) I a planned class of Midget Submarine for the Indian navy.under this programme the Indian navy will acquire 2 midget submarines for use as Swimmer delivery vehicles.These submarines will be used for conducting underwater special operations by MARCOS.Both submarines will be constructed by Hindustan Shipyard limited,The cost of procuring the two SDVs will be around 2000 crore.
