Ya'll Nibbiars Definitely not 500 tons that I can say.

Indian navy's displacement requirement is fixated at 150 tonnes. Don't think it's easy to win either.

@Indx TechStyle I was wondering if this kind of technology be used for commercial use.
Korea operates submarine for toruist very similar to this, we can do the same in Andaman and Maldives.

L&T doesn't have money to produce a prototype. So unless navy orders, this product will remain a half-baked one, not ripe of civil sector.

No, under current tourism conditions, why- too costly, less customers, big big loss etc. but can consider, considering corruptions. like sea plane.

Why India dropped Soryu Class induction in it's navy when India was seriously interested in their lithium batteries tech

Little champ, this thread and this program is about midget submarines, not attack submarines.

Neither Japan showed interest joining P75I nor there was a consensus in Indian navy that they want this submarine. India was more into a peroxide based AIP.
