"Kalvari underwent around 120 days of extensive sea trials and tests for various equipment," he said. The submarines, designed by French naval defence and energy company DCNS, are being built by Mazagon Dock Limited in Mumbai as part of Project-75 of the Indian Navy.
"The state-of-the-art tech utilised in the Scorpene has ensured superior features such as advanced acoustic silencing techniques, hydro-dynamically optimised shape and the ability to launch a crippling attack on the enemy," an MDL official said.
