In the backdrop of a constant Chinese military threat in the Indian Ocean Region, the Indian Navy is pushing for a third aircraft carrier, whose construction will start in the next three years. It is also planning to induct 56 ships and six submarines, including of an advanced class- the Project 75I.

The developments were shared on Monday by the Navy Chief Admiral Sunil Lanba, who also revealed that the second Scorpene class submarine, Khanderi, has undergone the requisite trials and will be commissioned soon. The first Scorpene submarine, INS Kalvari, was inducted last December.
