ISRO’s LMV3 rocket set off the CMS-03 satellite from Sriharikota Sunday. It weighs 4,410 kg, will primarily serve Indian Navy and has a life of at least 15 years.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
It is not surprising that Russia is pushing for a government-to-government deal for the building submarines. They want to win the ₹45K P75I project by hook or by crook.
Air-independent propulsion (AIP) technology, which would allow a submarine to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen, is an important requirement of the P75I project, but Russia doesn’t have AIP system on any of their submarines.
They claim to have the technology and say, “The only thing left is to package it into a submarine section and demonstrate it to the Indian Navy.”
When L&T Shipbuilding delivered Indian Coast Guard Ship (ICGS) Vikram in April 2018, the first of seven offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) ordered by the Coast Guard, it gave them a pleasant surprise.
L&T’s Kattupalli shipyard took just 36 months to build and deliver that OPV, even though this was the first OPV it had ever built. In contrast, when Goa Shipyard (GSL), the public sector’s premier OPV builder, got an order in April 1990 for four OPVs, it took twice as long to deliver the first. The delay in delivering those four OPVs ranged from two years to eight and a half years.
The Navy has,long complained about lengthy time overruns by defence public sector undertaking (DPSU) shipyards, which are given warship building orders (by value) through “nomination” — which means without competitive tendering.
L&T Shipbuilding has built several offshore patrol vessels, fast patrol vessels and interceptor boats for the Coast Guard. The company is among the four private local shipbuilders that have a permit from the government to build warships.
As they’re NCLT cases, old competetors like ABG Shipyard Ltd, Bharati Shipyard Ltd, Pipavav Defence and Offshore Engineering Co. Ltd out of the reckoning. This forced Adani Defence to seek a JV with Hindustan Shipyard, Vishakapatnam.
“Subsidy is a key issue for shipbuilding in the country. Without subsidy, it is not attractive to put up a shipyard,” Anil Manibhai Naik, who was the then designated CEO and managing director of L&T, said in an interview in July 2007.
Naik, now retired, went on to become the group executive chairman of L&T.
L&T Shipbuilding is now well established and in 2009 worked on India’s first nuclear-powered submarine – INS Arihant. So, it does have some experience with building a submarine.
The HSL-Adani bid wasn’t considered on the grounds that administrative permissions for the joint venture were not in place.
The proposal for the formation of a JV by HSL with Adani Defence had been received and was then still under consideration by the Ministry of Defence.
France believes it has an edge with the existing Scorpene build program with Mazgaon Docks Shipbuilders. Russia seeks a virtual walkover in the program, as their Kilo-class submarines are in use by the Navy.
The Navy has had a very, very bad experience with Visakhapatnam based, state-owned Hindustan Shipyard Ltd (HSL) which operates under the Department of Defence Production. For over eight years HSL struggled to overhaul one of the Navy’s Kilo-class submarines – INS Sindhukirti.
The useful life span of a diesel-electric submarine is 30 years – and the INS Sindhukirti spent about a decade on land, at HSL?? ???
