India's Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) has handed over the third of six Kalvari (Scorpene)-class diesel-electric attack submarines (SSKs) built at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai to the Indian Navy (IN). The boats are built under licence from France's Naval Group. An acceptance document for the 67.6 m-long boat, which is named Karanj, was signed on 15 February by MDL and Rear Admiral B Sivakumar of the IN's Western Naval Command. Senior IN officials told Janes the following day that the SSK, which was launched in January 2018, is likely to be commissioned in the first half of March. The submarine, which is part of the IN's INR235.62 billion (USD3.24 billion) Project 75 programme, is expected to join INS Kalvari and INS Khanderi, which were commissioned in December 2017 and September 2019 respectively. The fourth and fifth submarines of the class, Vela and Vagir, were launched in May 2019 and November 2020 and are expected to enter service in 2022.
