As part of its continuous growth efforts, the Indian Navy has set out the dates for commissioning new warships and submarines. The main anticipated timelines are as follows:
Over the next year, the Indian Navy hopes to commission at least one ship every month, including a variety of boats that are already being built, according to Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi.
Particular Deliveries: Of the 12 ships that are anticipated to arrive in the upcoming year, these include:
Immediate Inductions: The Navy plans to induct four new platforms in the next months, including:
Delivery of the six submarines under Project 75 India is anticipated to occur several years after contracts are concluded, however they are now in the planning and contracting stages. After a seven-year production period after contract signing, the first submarine from this project is expected to be delivered in 2031.
By 2036–2037, the Indian Navy is expected to commission its first domestically built nuclear assault submarine (SSN), greatly enhancing its underwater capabilities. This announcement was made by Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi during a recent press briefing ahead of Navy Day. According to him, the second SSN is anticipated to be launched within two years of the first, which would be a significant advancement in India’s naval strategy and defense technology independence.
The government’s determination to strengthen India’s naval capabilities through domestic design and manufacturing is demonstrated by the approval of the construction of two SSNs by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS).
Since officials have not yet publicly discussed the goal of developing a completely indigenous design for nuclear attack submarines, this proposal represents a substantial departure from earlier submarine initiatives.
Admiral Tripathi emphasized that these submarines will improve the Navy’s capacity to project force and protect national interests, especially given the rise in maritime activity in the Indian Ocean Region by regional foes like China and Pakistan.
