Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL), a leading Indian shipyard, is working on validating locally developed packaging for Lithium-Ion Battery modules and testing them with a Battery Monitoring System (BMS) for submarines. This innovative technology is set to be integrated into three upcoming Kalvari-class submarines for the Indian Navy.
MDL aims to complete the development and testing of this new technology by December 2026. The three follow-on Kalvari-class submarines will be equipped with these upgraded Lithium-Ion Battery modules and BMS, offering significant improvements over the six Kalvari-class submarines already in service with the Indian Navy.
The Indigenous development of Lithium-Ion Battery technology for submarines is a major step towards self-reliance in defence manufacturing. By adopting this technology, the Indian Navy will reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers and enhance the operational capabilities of its submarine fleet.
The Lithium-Ion Battery modules and BMS will provide several advantages, including increased energy density, improved performance, and reduced maintenance requirements. These upgrades will contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Kalvari-class submarines.
MDL’s efforts to validate and integrate this new technology demonstrate the company’s commitment to innovation and technological advancement in the shipbuilding industry. The successful implementation of these upgrades will position India as a leader in submarine technology and strengthen its naval capabilities.
