The Defence Acquisition Council has cleared proposals to buy three additional Scorpene submarines and 26 Rafale Marine fighter jets for the Indian Navy. The submarines will be built by the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in Mumbai. The decision to procure the additional submarines is aimed at bolstering India's submarine fleet and addressing delayed deliveries under Project 75. The Scorpene submarines are conventional attack submarines equipped with torpedoes, missiles, and surveillance capabilities. The procurement will help maintain the required force level and operational readiness of the Navy and create employment opportunities in the domestic sector.
