IN made a big mistake. Instead they should allow the French and Germans to give them 6 Scorpions and 6 U-214 direct from their origin country. Also, then IN can take further help to produce it more at home or may be a new design of their own being backed by Germans-French-Russians. This will allow the IN to grow more on Submarine fleet.

yaar tum apna gyan na pelo....All 6 scorpenes will be delivered to IN in next 3-4 years while we can order 4 more of them after that. 2 more Kilos are on option too along with that so I am sure after decades of mismanagement finally our submarine procurement is showing lots of movements...

only mistake was to delay this project as now its in track , indian navy will order two more scorpion after induction of all ,also another akula nuclear submarine deal will be signed in december , two more advanced kilo class submarine will be discussed in november by our defence minister as these are already in production for russian navy can be sold to india in fast track process.

No... we build them in india in order to gain experience add more jobs and got a certain amount of tech.. its a good investment. buying all from the source would be stupid. and why should we order 6 from german??? there's a tender for 6 next Gen sub whoever pit a better sub will get the order and have to be build in India..

now 6 scorpene and 2 new kilos will be inducted in 3-4 years and another 3-4 follow on scorpene will be ordered.. atleast 4-5 kilo's will be upgraded.. another akulla-2 is being procured with Arihant finishing the trial and get inducted by first quarter of next year by the time 2nd Arihant will head for sea trials.... i don't see anywhere IN's sub fleet is depleting or so!!! totally 9-10 new Scorpene... 2 new + 4-5 upgraded Kilo.. 2 Akula 2-4 Arihant and 6-9 next gen sub..

Dumb idea. Naval docks need orders to remain operational. Without orders they will fall into decay and it will be impossible for them to make any large orders without large lag times. Under current policy, new submarine will be inducted every year for at least the next 7 years starting from 2016. That will be more than enough for India which is situated more in a blue ocean region, rather than a massive littoral zone like SCS where diesel-electric submarines are much more viable.

Looks fabulous and deadly in waters... 2016 will be the best year for us(Indian defense freaks and fan boys)

Tiny sub.

Yeah tiny in size but as much fire power as much bigger Kilos. Better combat management system and stealth features too.

I just asked a Delhi based journo if India can go for additional Scorpenes, he says we might go for 3 more scorpene though performance of indigenous AIP will matter while taking that decision too.
