New Delhi, May 7 -- In the previous issue, we discussed the journey of India's quest for Make in India submarines, from the early 1970s to the mid-2000s. While the acquisition of the Type 209-1500, Kilo Class, and Kalvari Class addressed India's immediate requirement for the time being, it was still far from fully answering India's ambition. As the older Kalvari Class and Vela Class (Soviet origin Foxtrot Class) started being phased out, India's situation returned to square one. But the situation started getting worse without a steady flow of new submarines.
