The '''''Shishumar''-class''' vessels are diesel-electric [[attack submarine]]s, currently in active service with the [[Indian Navy]]. These submarines are an [[India]]n variant<ref name=fas>[http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/india/sub/ssn/part01.htm The Indian Strategic Nuclear Submarine Project An Open Literature Analysis]</ref> of the [[Type 209 submarine]]s developed by the [[Germany|German]] yard [[Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft]] (HDW) under the internal designation ''Type 1500''. The first two vessels were built by HDW at [[Kiel]], while the remainder were built at [[Mazagon Dock Limited]] (MDL), [[Mumbai]] under a technology transfer agreement.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Nair-Ghaswalla|first1=Amrita|title=ThyssenKrupp bullish on defence sector|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/thyssenkrupp-bullish-on-defence-sector/article7941863.ece|work=The Hindu Business Line|date=2 December 2015|language=en}}</ref> The submarines were commissioned between 1986 and 1994. These submarines have a displacement of 1660 tons when surfaced, a speed of {{convert|22|kn|km/h|0}}, and a complement of 40 including eight officers.

==History==
India signed the agreement for these submarines with Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft on 11 December 1981. The agreement called for building of two submarines in [[West Germany]], the supply of knocked-down kits for assembling two more submarines in [[Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders|Mazagon Dock Limited]], and training for construction and logistics services. An agreement was announced in 1984 for the construction of two additional submarines in MDL, but was subsequently cancelled due to economic crisis in the late 1980s.<ref name="jfs-0405"/> The four submarines that were finally built form the 10th submarine squadron based at Mumbai.<ref name="diplomat-14jul16"/>

==Mid Life Upgrade==

[[Indian Navy]] awarded $151mn contract for mid-life upgrade and certification of INS Shishumar, the refit will be carried out by [[Mazagon Dock]], [[Mumbai]] with technical cooperation from [[ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems]].<ref name="shishurefit">{{cite web|url=https://www.naval-technology.com/news/thyssenkrupp-refit-indian-ins-shishumar/|title=Germany’s Thyssenkrupp to refit Indian Navy submarine INS Shishumar|access-date=27 September 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.defenseworld.net/news/23427/India___s_Mazagon_Dock__Germany___s_Thyssenkrupp_Bag__151M_Worth_Indian_Navy_Submarines_Refit_Contract#.W6zH0nUzZhE|title=India’s Mazagon Dock, Germany’s Thyssenkrupp Bag $151M Worth Indian Navy Submarines Refit Contract|date=27 September 2018|publisher=DefenseWorld.net|access-date=6 July 2019}}</ref>

The refit is planned to be completed by 2021 with a similar upgrade for another vessel of {{sclass-|Shishumar|submarine|4}} to follow. <ref name="shishurefit" />

==Commissions received during the order==

In a July 2005 interview with ''[[NDTV]]'', [[V. P. Singh]] said that in 1987, while he was a minister, he had received a telegram from the Indian ambassador in [[Germany]] with the information that Indian agents had received large [[Kickback (bribery)|illegal commissions]] in the HDW submarine deal.<ref name="vp">{{cite news |last1=Gupta |first1=Shekhar |title=Walk the talk - an interview with V.P.Singh |url=https://www.ndtv.com/video/shows/walk-the-talk/walk-the-talk-with-vp-singh-aired-july-2005-303898 |access-date=25 October 2018 |publisher=NDTV |date=1 July 2005}}</ref> Singh informed the then prime minister [[Rajiv Gandhi]] about this and instituted an enquiry. Subsequently, this led to differences and Singh decided to resign from the cabinet.<ref>{{cite news |title=India charges 6 over submarine kickbacks |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/03/07/world/india-charges-6-over-submarine-kickbacks.html |access-date=25 October 2018 |newspaper=New York Times |date=7 March 1990}}</ref>
