Nope ! Arihant is only three boat class i.e. S-2, S-3, S-4. Further, larger SSBN boats are not clear yet as the reactor needs are larger and BARC has not made any naval reactor above 100MWt. SSNs are different and they would be produced indigenously as the reactor needs are enough for them...

Six SSNs which were approved recently by the CCS are proposed ones, to be built in India. They do not include INS Arihant class or INS Chakra or its variants on lease from Russia. The requirement for SSN is quite significant in Indian Navy.
