Indian Navy to Finalise Deals for 26 Rafale Marine Aircraft and 3 Scorpene Submarines by Next Month

The Indian Navy is on the verge of finalizing significant acquisitions, with plans to secure 26 Rafale Marine combat aircraft valued at โ‚น90,000 crore. This announcement was made by Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi during the annual Navy Day press conference, where he also indicated that talks regarding the purchase of three additional Scorpene submarines are actively progressing and may conclude by next month.

During his address, Admiral Tripathi emphasized that the Navy is in negotiations with France for the procurement of the Rafale Marine fighter jets. These advanced aircraft are expected to enhance the Indian Navyโ€™s operational capabilities significantly. In tandem, discussions with the French Naval Group are ongoing to facilitate the construction of the three new Scorpene-class submarines at Mazagon Dockyards Limited. According to the reports, these submarines will serve alongside the existing six Scorpene-class submarines already constructed by the dockyard.

This strategic move aims to bolster Indiaโ€™s naval capabilities, particularly in the context of the Project 75 India program, which focuses on augmenting indigenous submarine development. Admiral Tripathi highlighted the importance of this initiative in reinforcing the Indian Navyโ€™s operational readiness and capabilities.

In light of regional dynamics, the Navy Chief reaffirmed the serviceโ€™s vigilance over the activities of the Chinese Peopleโ€™s Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy) within the Indian Ocean Region. He stated, โ€œWe are keeping a close watch on the extra-regional forces operating in the Indian sea, including the PLA Navy, their warships, and even their research vessels. We know what they are doing and where they are.โ€ This statement underscores Indiaโ€™s commitment to maintain a robust maritime defense posture amid growing regional challenges.

Notably, the Indian government has already approved the construction of two indigenously designed nuclear attack submarines, with ambitions to complete the first by 2036-37 and the second two years thereafter. This initiative is part of a broader strategy, which, over the next decade, envisions the induction of approximately 95 ships into the Navy. This concerted effort aims to solidify Indiaโ€™s status as a formidable maritime power and ensure credible deterrence in the region.
