Germany's TKMS gains upper hand in Indian Navy submarine contest as Spanish partner fails to meet AIP requirements
Germany's Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), partnered with Mazagaon Dockyards Limited (MDL), holds an advantage in the competitive bid to build next-generation conventional submarines for the Indian Navy. After recent trials, Germany's offering is progressing to the next stage, while Spain's Navantia faces criticism for not meeting mandatory requirements, particularly regarding its air-independent propulsion (AIP) system. TKMS has demonstrated its stealth capabilities, although concerns remain about the fuel cells used in their AIP system.
Over to the Indian Navy now, Germany & Spain complete AIP submarine trials
Spain and Germany completed AIP system trials for the Indian Navy's ₹43,000-crore submarines. TKMS, using new fuel cells, showcased a stealthy German 212 submarine. Navantia displayed components and conducted battery-charging trials. TKMS partners with Mazagon Dockyards; Navantia with Larsen & Toubro. Khalil Rehman confirmed tests. Indian Navy evaluates reports; future integration is planned.
Indian submarines set for indigenous edge in open seas
An indigenously developed air-independent propulsion (AIP) system, set to be fitted on the first submarine next year, will significantly increase underwater endurance. It will add stealth to conventional submarines and enhancing operational effectiveness by allowing them to stay submerged for almost two weeks. Developed by DRDO in partnership with private sector players like L&T, the fuel cell-based AIP underwent extensive trials and will be integrated onto INS Kalvari submarine during its first major refit in September next year.
India to hold trials in Spain for P-75 India submarine project by June-end
