It has veen the part of deal but still not a good news tbhIndian Navy's six new indigenous submarines won't have indigenous AIP for prolonged underwater stay
3-4 minutes
The Indian Navy would soon come out with the tender for over Rs 50,000 crore project to build six indigenous conventional submarines but they would not be fitted with the indigenous Air Independent Propulsion system that is being developed by the DRDO.
As per sources, the Indian Navy has asked the DRDO to prove the AIP on a platform before it is allowed to be put on the Scorpene-class submarines when they start coming for their scheduled refits, they said.

"The Defence Research and Development Organisation is pushing for the inclusion of their under-development AIP on the P-75 India but it has not yet been included in the tender," sources told ANI.economictimes.indiatimes.com
Shortfinany idea which design is this?
Whats the point in having DRDO demo the AIP and then not use it.Indian Navy's six new indigenous submarines won't have indigenous AIP for prolonged underwater stay

ScorpeneWhats the point in having DRDO demo the AIP and then not use it.
I guess DRDO has to get its own small forces theatre command prepared that just uses weapons developed by DRDO.
And subsequent indigenous SSK.Scorpene
I think indigenous aip for indigenous ask is a long way to go and a different beast , they are working on solid fuel cell and other counterparts too ,might turn out to be best in worldAnd subsequent indigenous SSK.
It's just that for P75I, Navy wants no surprise and to have AIP from get go. Therefore AIP from OEM is chosen
If DRDO AIP takes time to mature, Scorpene will wait or be fitted with progressive designs from DRDO.
Well we can't seriously expect them to put an unproven AIP module (with potentially explosive fuel-cells) on an actual submarine without any kind of at-sea testing. So far the MAREEM has only seen shore-based testing and will have to conduct underwater tests on a pontoon or something before going on Scorpenes.Indian Navy's six new indigenous submarines won't have indigenous AIP for prolonged underwater stay

Shortfin
The one in glass case? That's a Triomphant-class SSBN.Shortfin Barracuda
I can definitely see some Naval Group influence in design, but if those are really VLS cells and/or a LOX tank for fuel cell AIP, then it can't be Shortfin as it has neither.Ya'll Nibbiara the earlier design posted by the @Gesslar nibba has some similaritries with the Shortfin may be a derivatives but I may be wrong.
Fair enough....subs are serious business and DRDO needs to prove above and beyond doubt.Indian Navy's six new indigenous submarines won't have indigenous AIP for prolonged underwater stay
