Just 1 thing missing. Heavyweight Torpedoes.

They should have included torpedoes in this contract.
This decade will also pass if we wait for DRDO.

India deploys 11 submarines, a first in nearly three decades
This deployment by the Indian Navy Friday is a stark contrast to the submarine history of the last two decades that has seen the arm hit by dwindling strength, accidents and write-offs.

Safe to say that all five of kalvari class were deployed.
Possibly related to the 3 additional submarines ? or p75 I ?
Any idea ?
It was an opportunity to exchange on our long-standing cooperation with the Indian Defence industry in the spirit of #AatmanirbharBharat to offer our latest generation of technologies to the IN

Indigenous features in new subs
The major difference between the existing Scorpenes and the new ones is their integrated combat system (ICS), sources explained. The earlier submarines had systems from France, while the new ones will have indigenous ICS, with significant localised solutions provided by Bharat Electronics Limited in collaboration with French suppliers, a source said. The ICS constitutes a significant part of the overall deal value.The new Scorpenes are also likely to have their 1,250KW MAN diesel engines replaced with the Rolls Royce MTU 4000 series engines. The manufacturer has recently tied up with Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited, Kolkata for their final assembly in India.
A Defence Ministry statement had said that the additional submarines will have higher indigenous content and will also come fitted with an air independent propulsion (AIP) system, developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), to enhance their endurance.
India receives price bids for 26 Rafale-M jets, 3 Scorpene submarines
The Rafale-M deal is being processed through an Inter-governmental agreement; the scorpene submarine deal is a follow-on to the earlier contract with Naval Group, under which Mazagon Dockyard Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), Mumbai manufactured six submarines in India.
The heavy torpedo case is not solved so far? incredible. These subs are like lions without tooth.
The interim solution of SUT Torpedos has been implemented. But that's a legacy era system now.
The Navy is probably going to replace the SUT torpedoes with the Varunastra HWT. Test firing of Varunastra from subs have already begun.
The issue is not about replacing STU, kalvari class do not have enough torpedoes. Its sharing torpedoes with Type-209 which is still active.
They again gave AoN for 45 or so import. The actual replacement is EHWT which is yet to start show development advances.
