This is new to me. WDB was supposedly working with MDL for the design of P76.

Navy on P76 is basically this.

On their website L&T passes off pic related as a """"""""midget submarine""""""""

What is the rest of it supposed to be?
Scorpene with hull mod?

Or did they just steal some submarine drawing from HI Sutton?

Honestly if the news is true, it is great for Indian Navy. Two conventional design from MDL and L&T give big advantage.

Currently the requirement is 24 Subs.

Barring the Kio and Type 209. We have only Kalvari class as the modern submarine fleet.

Kalvari Class - 9

P75I - 6

P76 - 9 (Subs) pending.

But this 24 requirement is based on then Indian Economy. If the count increases, P76 count will also increase.

We need more submarines, total conventional ones must be 30-35 including the current Scorpenes.
With 6-8 nuclear ones.
Hope DRDO AIP is successful or they find a good Lithium ion battery merchant, currently only the Japanese and Koreans have submarine grade li-ion figured out afaik.

AIP and Li ion tech is different I believe. The Jap submarine is simply charges the Li battery which holds high amount of energy compared to traditional Lead Acid ones. So it does need AIP.

Question is that Li battery is pretty much common with Commercial Car lithium battery. Challenge will be Certifying for Military standards.

Unfortunately, DRDO bros needs to do ball lifting as Indian Private Dhandos skipped this ship.

No they've junked AIP altogether.

Basically while surfaced and engine is on it stores so much electricity in the batteries that they isn't a need for running AIP while submerged.

Koreans meanwhile have an AIP + Li-ion system so idk which is "better"

Korean approach is way too complicated. Li batteries charge capacity is very high compared to Lead Acid. We don't need AIP further on that, this way go into SSN category.
