On 10 March the Indian Navy (IN) commissioned its third Project 75 diesel-electric submarine at Mumbai’s Naval Dockyard, this class being based on Naval Group’s Scorpene platform.
INS Karanj (pennant number S 23) is the third Kalvari-class submarine built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), marking the halfway stage in the six-boat class. The navy’s Chief of Staff Adm Karambir Singh attended the commissioning ceremony.
Launched on 31 January 2018, this license-built boat with a length of 67.56m had been handed over to the navy on 15 February. INS Karanj will serve under the Western Naval Command.
