The submarine was launched on 20th April 2022 from the Kanhoji Angre Wet Basin of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL). The Ministry of Defence said MDL has delivered’ three submarines of the Project – 75 in 24 months and the commencement of sea trials of the sixth submarine is a significant milestone.
The commencement of sea trials for Vaghsheer, the sixth and final Kalvari class submarine built under Project-75, signifies a significant stride towards Aatma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India). These rigorous trials will rigorously evaluate the submarine’s propulsion systems, weapons, and sensors, enhancing the Indian Navy’s combat capabilities. The commissioning of Vaghsheer comes at a crucial time, as China expands its presence in the Indian Ocean region, highlighting the strategic importance of bolstering India’s naval strength.
