India: Modi Govt Approves Deal To Build Nuclear-Powered Submarines, Buy 31 US Predator Drones

In a major boost for Indian Navy and the surveillance capabilities of the defence forces, the Cabinet Committee on Security led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi cleared two major deals for building two nuclear-powered attack submarines indigenously and buying 31 Predator drones from the United States. The submarine project is a $5.36 billion deal to build two nuclear-powered attack submarines at the Ship Building Centre in southern India's Vishakhapatnam. The project will also see a major involvement of private sector firms like Larsen and Toubro, in a key step forward towards indigenisation of the country's defence projects. India plans to build six such submarines in the long run as part of its submarine induction plans.
