The Indian Navy signed a contract with the Russian shipbuilder Sevmash to refit and upgrade the existing submarines and to extend their operational life by 35 years. The first submarine, INS ''Sindhukesari'', will be sent for refit starting June 2016. The extensive refit, the value for which is pegged at Rs 5,000 crore for a total of four submarines, will not only extend the life of the boats but will also upgrade their combat potential and fitted with [[3M-54 Klub|Klub]] land attack cruise missile.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Navy signs Rs 5,000 crore pact with Russian shipbuilder Sevmash for Kilo class submarine refit - The Economic Times|url = http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/navy-signs-rs-5000-crore-pact-with-russian-shipbuilder-zvezdochka-for-kilo-class-submarine-refit/articleshow/49425464.cms|website = The Economic Times|access-date = 2016-02-11|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = Russia to modernize Sindhukesari submarine for the Indian Navy|url = http://in.rbth.com/news/2015/10/16/rusia-to-modernize-sindhukesari-submarine-for-the-indian-navy_483555|website = in.rbth.com|access-date = 2016-02-11|df = dmy-all}}{{Dead link|date=October 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
