As apparent of 2013,
1> 6 scorpenes ( delivery sept 2016)
2> Arihant X 4 (1 Complete, 2nd launch early 2014, construction started on 3rd hull.)
3> Release of Akula II , one more by 2019, 2020.
4> P75I RFP issue sept 2013, est signing date 2015, 2 built in foreign dock delivery estd 4 yrs hence 2019. Rest 4 India , 2021.
5> 5 Kilo 877E3 class.
6> SSBN boomer class Arihant follow on (?)
7> 3500KM -5500KM K15, 700KM K4 SLBM.
Bear in mind China has 6 SSN/SSBNs that can reach IOR, Pakistan has 3-4. Judging by unforeseen in tensions in SCS, is large scale SSN deployment feasable? Also by 2020 China will have 15 SSN/SSBNs.
