Updates on the Scorpene with NMRL-Thermax-L&T PAFC: -
1. Order placed for 1 x PAFC Unit by Mazagon Dock Ltd.
2. INS Kalavari goes into NR (Nominal Refit) somewhere in 2026.
3. NR initially planned for 24 months but may take up to 36 months if integration challenges crop up.
4. Naval Group is providing integration consultancy during the NR process and the length of the submarine will increase by 7 metres.
5. The existing vessels will be fitted with the PAFC AIP as per their individual NR schedules.
6. The 3 new Scorpenes built by MDL will be stretch versions from the outset and will be equipped by the same PAFC AIP.
End
