Naval Ensign of India
Indian Navy carrier battle group in formation, showing some of the latest additions to the fleet.

The Indian Navy has been focusing on developing indigenous platforms, systems, sensors and weapons as part of the nation's modernisation and expansion of its maritime forces. As of November 2022, the Indian Navy has 45 vessels of various types under construction,[1] including destroyers; frigates; corvettes; conventional-powered and nuclear-powered submarines and various other ship, and plans to build a strong navy of 200 vessels and 500 aircraft by 2050. According to Chief of Naval Staff's statement in December 2020,[2] India has transformed from a buyer's navy to a builder's navy.[3]

The increasing interest of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy in the Indian Ocean region[4] has led the Indian Navy to invest more in anti-submarine ships, such as the Kamorta-class corvette, long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft such as Boeing P-8 Poseidon and ships such as the Saryu-class patrol vessel[5] and unmanned aerial vehicles such as the IAI Heron-1.[6] However the lack of a strong submarine fleet has diminished its capabilities to some extent.[7] Post-Chinese intrusions into Ladakh in 2020, it has been announced that the Indian Navy plans to upgrade the military facilities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on the eastern seaboard as well as Lakshadweep on the western seaboard, with the aim of having a network of island airbases in both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal which provides an infrastructure which will guarantee freedom of navigation and overflight to all Indian territories.[8]

Submarines

  This indicates that a Request For Information (RFI) has currently been issued for this project. The issue of an RFI is not a commitment for procurement.

Nuclear Submarines

Class Picture Type No. of Boats Origin Displacement Status Note
class Ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) 4  India 6,000–7,000 tonnes 1 in service, 1 Ready For Induction, 1 launched, 1 under construction A total of four submarines were planned in two flights.[9] The first boat of the class, inducted in service.
class Ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) 3  India 13,500 tonnes 3 planned Project was approved with a budget of 10,000 crore (US$1.4 billion).[9][10][11]
Chakra III (Akula) class INS Chakra Nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) 1  Russia 12,770–13,800 tons 1 on order On 7 March 2019, India and Russia signed a $3 billion deal for the lease of another Akula-class nuclear-powered attack submarine. The submarine, dubbed Chakra III, should be delivered to the Indian Navy by 2025.[12][13]
Project 75 Alpha Nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) 6  India 6,000 tonnes 6 planned The Government of India had approved the construction of six such submarines in February 2015. These submarines will be designed by the Navy's in-house Directorate of Naval Design and indigenously built in the Shipbuilding Centre at Visakhapatnam. Initially, 3 submarines are planned to undergo construction in 2023–2024 while another set of 3 will get clearance later. The first submarine is planned to enter service in 2032.[14]

Conventional Submarines

class Attack submarine 6  India

 France

1,800 tonnes 5 in service
1 launched [15][16][17]
All deliveries are expected to be completed by 2023.[18][19]
class Attack submarine 6  India 3,000 – 4,000 tonnes 6 planned Defence Acquisition Council cleared the purchase of six submarines worth 53,000 crore (US$7.4 billion) in October 2014.[20] In April 2019, an Expression of Interest was issued for twelve stealth submarines capable of remaining underwater for much longer period and firing subamrine-launched land-attack and anti-ship cruise missiles.[21] Official bidding process to start very soon as of Aug 2020.[22] The Ministry of Defence cleared the proposal to issue a tender for the construction of six conventional submarines.[23]
Project-76 class Attack submarine 6  India Under design phase These are first class of conventional diesel-electric submarine to be fully designed and developed within India featuring AIPs. The design phase is expected to be completed by end-2024 and tenders are expected to be issued by defence ministry soon.[24][25]

Midget submarines

Class Picture Type No. of Boats Origin Displacement Status Note
Swimmer Delivery Vehicle Midget submarine 2  India 150 tonnes 2 planned Hindustan Shipyard Limited[26] will construct two midget submarine at an estimated cost of 2,000 crore. SOVs will be used by MARCOS for conducting special operations.[20]

Ships

  This indicates that the project a Request For Information (RFI) has currently been issued for this project. The issue of RFI is not a commitment for procurement.

Aircraft carriers

Name Picture No. of Ships Origin Displacement Status Note
IAC-1 Class 1  India 45,000 tonnes Planned[27] Indian Navy had been pushing for a 65,000 tonne carrier, but the demand has been put on hold due to expenses and technologies needed on board. So now Navy is considering another 45,000-tonne class carrier, same as INS Vikrant with more indigenous systems and better propulsions.
INS Vishal 1  India 65,000 tonnes Planned[28] Estimated to be equipped with an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) CATOBAR system. Will have significant changes and greater size compare to INS Vikrant.

Initially nuclear propulsion was planned, but this was later changed to an integrated electric propulsion system due to the complexities involved in developing a nuclear reactor with a capacity of 500 to 550 megawatts that would possibly take 15 to 20 years.[29][30]
Since the Indian navy has preferred the construction of the nuclear powered Project 75 Alpha and the conventionally powered Project 75I class submarines, INS Vishal will be seen as a replacement of the INS Vikramaditya.[31][32][14][33]

Amphibious warfare ships

Class Picture Type No. of Ships Origin Displacement Status Note
Future Landing Platform Dock (LPD) Landing helicopter dock 4  India 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes 4 planned Indian Navy has released RFI for 4 LPDs to be made by Indian shipyards. Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) is expected. Ships will have 4x AK 630 with Electro Optical Fire control system, 8x Medium Machine Gun, 6x Heavy Machine Gun, Advancd towed decoy system, 16x SSM, 32x VL-SRSAM, 2x Heavy Lift Helicopters, 12 Special Ops Helicopters and 2x NSUAS etc.[34]
High Speed Landing Craft 6  India 285 tonnes 6 planned In September 2017, Indian Navy issues a RFI to acquire six landing craft capable of supporting assault missions and transporting equipment, vehicles & troops.[35][36]
