True the Brahmos is 0.67 m in diameter but if you include overheads it will need a tube of 0.8m diameter. The sagarika itself is 0.75 m is diameter but as you can see it will require a tube 0.93 m in dia. The nirbhay on the other hand has a diameter of 0.52 m, with folded wings it will still be smaller than Brahmos. But I am just guessing here.

K_15 to be fired by end of these month and progress towards sea trials
K-15 to be Test fired from INS Arihant this month | idrw.org
India has to wait for a couple of months more to witness the much-awaited first-ever sea trial of indigenously built nuclear powered submarine INS Arihant fitted with ballistic missile K-15.
Earlier scheduled to be test-fired from Arihant, the submarine-launched ballistic missile K-15 is being readied to be launched from a pontoon (replica of a submarine) off Vizag coast later this month. Defence sources said the Arihant-class submarine, launched on July 26, 2009 from the Naval dockyard at Visakhapatnam, is yet to start its sea trials. The submarine is a part of the country's Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) programme. India is the fifth country to have this kind of technology after the US, Russia, France and China.
Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister and DRDO Chief V K Saraswat said this time the test of K-15 would be from the pontoon which has been positioned at a location off the Andhra Pradesh coast. "But the test planned next year will be definitely from Arihant-class submarine. The platform is being readied at the shipyard for the maiden trial," he told this paper over phone.
Initially announced to be ready for induction by year-end, the submarine is now expected to be inducted in the Navy by 2014 because it has to complete at least two or three trials before deployment. India has plans to build four more submarines of this class. "The new generation nuke powered submarines will help India become a credible nuclear deterrent. Once inducted, the country will achieve its goal of possessing the nuclear triad of having three nuclear arms platforms – land, air and undersea," said a scientist.
INS Arihant is about 120 metres long and its displacement goes up to 7,000 tonnes. It can be armed with 12 vertically launched missiles like K-15 and 533-mm torpedos at a time. The indigenously developed K-15 missile is about 10 metres in length and about one metre in diameter. Its launch weight is about 10 tonnes.
With a strike range of about 700 km, the K-15 is one of the most ambitious projects of the DRDO. After its successful induction next year, the DRDO would go for the developmental trials of its longer-range K-4 missile to strengthen its undersea attacks.

Advance double hull, that is what word on the street is.
If anyone think that sub is underpower, then pls understand that this is made for stealth only and not for speed attack sub.

Awesome pictures dude...........
K-15 ALL SET TO JOIN ARIHANT -11TH SUCCESSFULL TEST FIRE ON WEDNESDAY
Avinash Chander, Chief Controller (Missiles and Strategic Systems), DRDO, termed it "a good flight" and said the test "formed part of the pre-production clearance."
Informed sources said the reactor had already been integrated with the Arihant at Visakhapatnam. "The commissioning process is on," they said. The reactor would reach criticality within the first few months of 2013. The harbour trials of the ship have been completed, and it is ready for sea trials.

mate actually Arihant has also got a battery powered generator for now,thats why it could sail without the nuclear reactors but i am quite sure that its only a back up plan and the nuclear reactor has already been installed in Arihant by now!

The same way Agni-5 despite weighing 50 tonnes only goes 5500 Km.

You guys are telling me Arihant conducted sea trials last year on electric drive motors used for docking. Was the course around the dock and back?

New Delhi, January 24
Indigenous nuclear submarine INS Arihant (destroyer of enemies) is all set for sea trials in the coming weeks. Its pressurised water reactor is slated to go "critical" allowing the 6,000-tonne undersea platform to complete its last stage of testing called "sea trails" that includes operating the vessel in all possible scenarios, its mandated depth, its sonars and radars. This will include testing of on board missiles and weapons, including nuclear-tipped ones.
If everything goes on track, sea trails of the Arihant could commence anytime within four weeks to eight weeks from now. The miniaturisation of thereactor was a challenge that has been overcome.
Sea trails had to be delayed afew times due to technical reasons. On December 3, Naval Chief Admiral DK Joshi said harbour acceptance trialsfor the under-development vessel had been completed. "We expect to have good news for the nation very soon," he had added.
Arihant, launched in July 2009 at Visakhapatnam, is first of the series of three ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) thatIndia proposes to build at a cost of Rs 30,000 crore.
Induction of Arihant into the fleet would complete the crucial third leg of India's nuclear triad-the ability to firenuclear weapons from land, air and sea. Sea trials of Arihant will be globally watched even as India will enter the exclusive club of nations that have the capacityto build nuclear-powered submarines. Only the US, Russia, the UK, France and China have the technology, at present.
Though India is still building a nuclear-powder submarine-considered to be a very complex technology-its Navy has a fully integrated Akula class nuclear submarine, the INS Chakra, leased from Russia for 10 years.
New Delhi has already announced that the INS Arihant will go on deterrent patrol aimed at providing the ability of a retaliatory "secondstrike" in case of a nuclear attack. The submarine will carry its full load of nuclear-tipped missiles that can be launched from under the sea.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has already announcedthat it has successfully developed nuclear-tipped submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The project was a closely guarded secret at the development stage and was called the "Sagarika Project" or by its code name the K-15. This has been tested several times using a pressurised canister submerged under water to mimic a submarine-style launch. So far, countries like the US, Russia, France, China and the UK have the capabilityto launch a submarine-based ballistic missile.

Oh, the irony!Is Submarine runs on Nuclear Powder
Re: INS Vikramaditya (Adm Gorshkov) aircraft carrier
I dont see France selling nuclear attack submarines to India....
