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 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]
India’s second nuclear-capable ballistic missile submarine joined its naval fleet late last month, a move the government says strengthens its nuclear deterrent as New Delhi casts a wary eye at ...

[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 ...
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]
These submarines were initially planned to be operationalised beginning in 2021 but were later delayed. This delay had prompted the Indian Government to sanction an additional Arihant-class submarine in 2012 to avoid the idling of the production line. [1] As of 4 December 2022, S5-class submarine is to enter production by the year 2027. [5] [7]
The training of the crew was viewed as crucial to India's own nuclear submarine programme, known as the Arihant-class. [16] After the 2008 accident, there were conflicting reports over the status of the lease. A Russian defence industry official denied that talks had been held with India on the delivery of the nuclear submarine.
