The Indian Navy’s latest strategic asset, INS Aridhaman, is on the brink of being formally inducted into service, with sources indicating a potential commissioning post mid-2025. According to reports from idrw.org, the submarine has been under rigorous trials for nearly three years, signaling a significant step forward in India’s naval capabilities, particularly in the realm of underwater deterrence.
INS Aridhaman, which is part of the Arihant-class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), has undergone extensive sea trials to ensure it meets the stringent demands of stealth operations, nuclear safety, and missile deployment capabilities.
The trials have lasted close to three years, focusing on everything from propulsion systems to the stealth characteristics of the submarine, ensuring it can operate silently and effectively in various oceanic conditions.
Aridhaman represents an evolution from its predecessors with a 10-meter longer hull, increasing its submerged displacement by over 1,000 tons compared to the original Arihant-class submarines. With the ability to carry more SLBMs, INS Aridhaman significantly strengthens India’s nuclear triad, crucial for deterrence against potential adversaries in the region.
