Just to supplement.
The S5 is reported to be similar to the American Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines.
Source: It's a 2019 writeup, so might be off on certain parameters. The point reproduced above is at the fag end of the article.
Yea, just now remeber that, S5 was said to be a mix of Russian and western design is what I heard.

I believe this was also discussed here.
Someone also said, PKS too was of the same opinion.

Maybe ur right.

@Gessler confirmation plz!

take this with a pinch of salt
I'm also confident that there is a 190MW reactor in testing phase from IPR from Russia in kalpakkam.

It was @Gessler Bhai who found out

PKS says OKV 650 V , which is powering Borei Class Submarine. India is a world leader in Pressurized Water Reactor , may be they are struggling with the miniaturisation of Reactor. BARC is working on indegenious one also , don't know what happened to that .

May be Russian design with Indian manufacturing .

Ya'll Nibbiars

Going only so far back in history
Fact check

In a move that stirs up some controversy, as part of "Operation Paperclip," the United States ships 88 German scientists to America to assist the nation in its production of rocket technology.
Source:
The U.S. was not alone in this endeavor. Britain, France and especially the Soviet Union sought to enlist these German scientific experts, as well.

Since when India became world leader in PWRs ? :crazy::crazy: AFAIK, all the PWRs / VVERs NPPs operated by India are imported from Russia.
For indigenous PHWRs, its design is not suitable for propulsion reactors.
India’s government has given the state-owned Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd. (NPCIL) the green light to develop 10 new domestically designed pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs).
Source: It's a 2017 article
Snippets from another one in 2017:
1. India’s Department of Atomic Energy, the entity responsible for research, construction, and operation of the country’s nuclear power reactors, will build two prototype fast-breeder reactors (PFBRs) at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu. The site already hosts a 500-MW PFBR that is expected to be fully operational this October.
2. unique long-term program that pushes for research and development of nuclear reactors using all three main fissionable materials: uranium-235, plutonium, and uranium-233 (U-233).
3. The first step of the three-stage program involves building indigenously engineered pressurized heavy-water reactors (PHWRs) and light-water reactors to produce plutonium. The second stage uses fast-neutron reactors fueled by plutonium to breed U-233 from thorium. In the third stage, using wholly indigenous technology, the country will use advanced heavy-water reactors fueled with U-233 obtained from the irradiation of thorium in PHWRs and fast reactors.
4. Commercial operation of the 500-MW PFBR at Kalpakkam—which will be the first of its kind in the world when it is commercially operational—will mean India has attained the second stage of the program.
Therefore, today, almost four year hence, we should be discussing the advances in Stage 2 and progress with Stage 3.

Stupid turk
Typically expected from Turkroaches who cry for license production with the special allowance to rebrand it as “Made in Thurki” and they’re the ones who paint A-129 Mangusta as T-129 “indijenus atak helikapter”
Or their Battle tank Altay, again a SoKo K2 Blackpanther painted with Turkroach flag. Or even their Assault Rifles licensed copies of German H&K Guns,

But nah Ottoman Turkroachistan Zindabad!
