Third diesel-electric Scorpene given to Indian Navy

Though the Scorpene project has faced huge time and cost overruns, it is critical for the Navy since it currently has just 12 other ageing diesel-electric submarines, with just half of them operational at any given time. India also has two nuclear-powered submarines, INS Arihant and INS Chakra, but the latter does not have nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles because it has been acquired on lease from Russia.
