Named Vagir, the 67.6 m-long boat entered the water on 12 November at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai and is expected to undergo setting-to-work and sea trails before being delivered to the IN by about mid-2022.

The submarine, which is part of the IN’s INR235.62 billion (USD3.15 billion) Project 75 programme, follows INS Kalvari and INS Khanderi – which were commissioned in December 2017 and September 2019 – and Karanj and Vela, which were launched in January 2018 and May 2019. The latter two are currently undergoing sea trials and are scheduled for commissioning in 2021 and early 2022, IN sources told Janes.
