INS Vagsheer, the sixth and final Scorpene-class submarine under Project 75, will join the Indian Navy in January 2025. Built at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders in Mumbai, it is designed for stealth and precision attacks. Powered by a diesel-electric system, it can carry torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and over 30 mines. Vagsheer will help India counter challenges in the Indian Ocean from China and Pakistan. With advanced anti-torpedo systems and intelligence capabilities, it is a key addition to India’s submarine fleet. As part of India’s growing naval power, the submarine strengthens the country’s role as a dominant force in the Indo-Pacific.
