Sanjeev Singhal, the chairman and managing director of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDS), a defense public sector undertaking (PSU), has expressed optimism about securing the order for the 75I submarine. In a recent interview, he stated that MDS is participating in the project alongside TKMS Germany and is confident of a positive outcome.
Singhal highlighted the strong order pipeline for shipbuilding, submarines, and offshore projects. He noted that the Indian Navy has recently cleared the TKMS-offered U-214 variant of the submarine after a thorough evaluation, finding it to meet all technical specifications. This positive development further strengthens MDS’s chances of securing the 75I submarine order.
The 75I submarine project is a significant undertaking for the Indian Navy, aimed at modernizing its underwater capabilities. The successful completion of this project will not only enhance India’s maritime security but also boost the domestic shipbuilding industry.
