  • India Added A New Submarine Into NAVY

    INS Khanderi is the second scorpene-class submarine to be inducted into the Navy after INS Kalvari.

    Speaking at the commissioning ceremony of the submarine in Mumbai, Singh said, “The name Khanderi is inspired by the dreaded ‘Sword-tooth fish’, a deadly fish known to hunt while swimming close to the bottom of the ocean.”
    Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Saturday commissioned the indigenously-built second scorpene-class submarine INS Khanderi into the Indian Navy. The INS Khanderi is the second Kalvari-class diesel-electric submarine after INS Kalvari.


    Speaking at the commissioning ceremony of the submarine in Mumbai today, the defence minister said, “The name Khanderi is inspired by the dreaded ‘Sword-tooth fish’, a deadly fish known to hunt while swimming close to the bottom of the ocean.” The diesel-electric attack submarine is being built at Mazgaon Dock in Mumbai.

    “Khanderi is built at state-run Mazgaon Dock Limited and underwent rigorous sea trials for over two and a half years. All the concerns of the Navy have been addressed,” said an official of the Western Naval Command Friday.


    The maximum speed of the INS Khanderi submarine is 20 nautical miles. Its state-of-the-art technology helps reduce noise under the sea.
    The maximum crew requirement fo the submarine is 36, unlike the previous requirement of 60. It saves oxygen availability and increases its capacity to stay underwater for long periods.

            Key features of the submarine include state-of-the-art technology which reduces its noise under the sea. Another crucial feature of the new submarine is that unlike the previous requirement of 60 crew, its maximum requirement is 36 crew. It saves oxygen availability and increases its capacity to stay underwater for long periods, he said.

                    • The stealth submarine is named after its predecessor INS Khanderi (S22), a “Foxtrot” class submarine that was decommissioned in 1989. That was named after Chhatrapati Shivaji's island fort of Khanderi.
                    • Scorpene-class submarines are diesel-electric attack submarines jointly built by DCNS France. It features diesel propulsion.
                    • The project began in 2005 when the Navy signed a contract worth Rs 18,798 crore with MDL.
                    • According to the Indian Navy, the submarine, along with others of its type, will form the core of its conventional submarine arm.
                    • It was built by MDL under Project 75 in collaboration with French naval defence and energy company DCNS. INS Kalvari, commissioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2017, is also part of this project.
                    • According to reports, the diesel-electric submarine is armed with SM.39 Exocet anti-ship missiles and mines instead of torpedoes.
                    • In June, it was reported that the Navy found defects with the submarine and refused to commission Khanderi until all deficiencies were rectified. According to a report in the Business Standard, one of its major defects was that its engines and propellers were making a high level of noise.
