India is taking a giant leap in underwater warfare with Project-76, its first fully indigenous diesel-electric submarine program. The design will be ready within a year, confirmed by L&T Defence founder J.D. Patil. Developed jointly by the Indian Navy and L&T, the submarine will be made in India from the ground up — no foreign help.

Under this project, 12 submarines will be built in two batches of six. The second batch will be modular, allowing future upgrades like better sensors, weapons, or propulsion systems without redesigning the entire sub. These submarines will include AIP systems, cruise missile compatibility, and advanced stealth tech to silently patrol deep waters.

The first submarine is expected to enter production in the early 2030s, with delivery around 2037. Project-76 draws experience from Kalvari-class and Project-75I, but with maximum indigenous content — a clear push toward full naval self-reliance and even future exports.
