Khanderi, India’s second indigenously built Scorpene-class submarine, launched

All equipment has been installed in the submarine, with 95 per cent cabling and piping also being completed.

Pressure testing, setting-to-work and commissioning of various systems of the submarine is presently in progress, and would continue after the launch of the submarine.

The important safety milestone of vacuum-testing was completed in the first attempt itself, and within a single day on January 5.

This matched the record of Kalvari, which also completed the vacuum test in one go.

Till December 2017, the submarine will undergo rigorous trials and tests, both in harbour and at sea, while on surface and whilst dived.
