The sixth Scorpene-class submarine, part of India’s ambitious
submarine-building project, has commenced its sea trials, marking a
significant milestone in the country’s naval capabilities. The submarine is
being built at Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) in Mumbai, as part of a
technology transfer agreement with a French shipbuilder. These sea trials
will test the submarine’s various systems, including propulsion,
navigation, and combat capabilities, ensuring its readiness for deployment.
Once delivered, the Scorpene submarine will bolster India’s naval strength
and contribute to its maritime security efforts in the strategically vital
Indian Ocean region.
