The Defense Acquisition Board, or DAC, approved the construction 6 attack submarines identified as project 75 (i). The new submarines will have to have anaerobic propulsion (AIP), increasing the diving autonomy of the submersible. In addition, they will need vertical launch silos for Brahmos supersonic missiles.
Naval Group, which is currently building the 6 Project 75 submarines based on the Scorpène model, is obviously among the contenders for this contract, as well as the German TKMS, the Japanese Mitsubishi, and Russia with the Lada program.
The 6 new submersibles will be built in India, like the 6 Scorpènes, in accordance with President Moodi's “made in India” plan.
