Nuclear-powered submarines (2) Arihant class: Ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) INS Arihant INS Arighaat: India: 6,000 tonnes Powered by a 83 MW pressurized light-water reactor using enriched uranium. First prototype of the ATV project and experimental protoype. Diesel-electric submarines (17) Kalvari class (Scorpène-class) Attack submarine
The initial intent of the project was to design nuclear-powered fast attack submarines, though following nuclear tests conducted by India in 1998 at Pokhran Test Range and the Indian pledge of no first use, the project was re-aligned towards the design of a ballistic missile submarine in order to complete India's nuclear triad.

INS Arihant (SSBN 80) [10] (Sanskrit: Vanquisher of Enemies), designated S2 Strategic Strike Nuclear Submarine, [11] is the lead ship of India's Arihant class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. [12] [13] The 6,000 tonne vessel was built under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project at the Ship Building Centre in the port city ...
India has not even released pictures of Arighaat since its August 29 commissioning. ... Nuclear-powered submarines are complex machines. When things break and need repairing, or just when regular ...
INS Arighaat is an upgraded variant of the Arihant-class submarine. [9] [10] [11] It is the second nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine made by India [12] under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project to build nuclear submarines at the Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam. [1] It has the code name S3. [3] [13] [14]
Project 77 (formerly Project 75 Alpha) is an Indian Navy acquisition programme to procure nuclear-powered attack submarines. [2] The Government of India, through the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), approved the construction of six of these submarines in February 2015. [3]
It is designed to support the fleet of over 12 nuclear-powered ballistic missile and attack submarines to be built for the Indian Navy within underground pens in the Eastern Ghats. This will avoid detection of the submarines during space and aerial surveillance as well as protect them from enemy air attacks.
