@Han Patriot it was commissioned in August 2016 and is operational. It was commissioned by the then naval chief. Forgot his name.

Power is the problem. We need a reactor which is of a newer generation and generates more power. This being the first one, problems are expected.. may take couple of more subs before we perfect it.

So if it doesnt generate enough power, does it mean it's just floating there?

It was quietly commissioned.
Why?
Any precedent?

Narcissist, Selfie sufficient, photo opportunist Modi (one who pushed Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook for a photo shot) went for the ceremony, and came without Photos?

In February 2016, India’s 1st indigenously built nuclear armed submarine INS Arihant was declared as ready for operations. In August 2016, Prime Minister Modi had quietly commissioned INS Arihant into the Indian Navy and since then it is fully-operational.

It is a strategic nuclear submarine and is most secretive black project in India ever.
Of course their won't be any photos.

It generates 83MW which is enough for a 6000Ton sub.
It will fire a K4 SLBM during naval exercises in June-July.

But if it was secret how come your PM can openly commission it and it all over the media?

WE DON'T need the PM to commission it

But there was a ceremony for the PM to 'officially' commission it. If it was secret, shouldn't it be kept in the dark?

Only news about commissioning was made public through unofficial media but rest was all closed to media.

Going by this logic, India does not have nuclear weapons, because it was never announced with noise. Neither does India have strategic ballistic missiles, because there was no big ceremony IPL style. Please do not let your politics start clouding judgements.

So if it doesnt generate enough power, does it mean it's just floating there?
