Defence Minister Arun Jaitley today reviewed the progress of 'Project 75' (indigenous submarine construction project) alongwith other ongoing warship building projects including P-15 B class stealth destroyers here. Accompanied by Navy chief Admiral R K Dhowan, Jaitley visited Mazagon Docks Limited here, a Defence release said.

The visit of the Defence Minister, within three months of his taking over, demonstrates the importance accorded by the government to the indigenous construction of submarines and warships, it said. The minister inaugurated the Mazdock Modernisation Project (MMP), which would enhance the warship and submarine construction capability of the shipyard.
