The Prime Minster was received by the Chief of the Naval Staff at the Naval Dockyard. Shri Narendra Modi was presented with a 100-man Guard of Honour and was introduced to the ship’s officers and other dignitaries present. Congratulating the people of India on this occasion, the Prime Minister described INS Kalvari as a shining example of “Make in India” and commended all those involved in its manufacture. He described the submarine as an excellent illustration of the fast growing strategic partnership between India and France. He said the INS Kalvari will add even more strength to the Indian Navy. As per him it is also certain that the road to development in the 21st century goes through the Indian Ocean and hence his vision can be understood through the acronym SAGAR – Security and Growth for All in the Region.

Prime Ministers Address

The Prime Minister said India is fully alert with regard to its global, strategic and economic interests in the Indian Ocean and Indian Navy plays a leading role in promoting peace and stability in the region. He spoke of the challenges such as sea-borne terrorism, piracy, and drug trafficking, that not just India, but other nations in the region also have to face. Indian Navy is playing a key role in tackling these challenges. The entire ecosystem related to defence and security has started to change in the last three years. He said the skill-set accumulated during the manufacture of INS Kalvari is an asset for India.

Defence Ministers Address

Congratulating the MDL for restarting the production line of submarines once again, Mrs Nirmala Sitharaman, the Defence Minister thanked the Yard workers, who she said “mattered high on this day”. The process of submarine construction has again been started in the country and it should not stop, the Raksha Mantri said.

Chief of Naval Staffs address

Admiral Sunil Lanba stated that the commissioning marked a milestone in the journey of the Indian Navy towards indigenous submarine building and a partnership with the Government of Indias policy of Make In India. Kalvari is a testimony of Indian Navy’s proactive and integrated approach to achieve self-reliance, the Admiral said.

The Commissioning Warrant of the submarine was thereafter read out by the Commanding Officer, Captain SD Mehendale. Subsequently, hoisting of the Naval Ensign on board for the first time and ‘Breaking of the Commissioning Pennant’ with the National Anthem being played, marked the completion of the Commissioning Ceremony.

INS Kalvari is manned by a team comprising 08 officers and 35 sailors with Captain SD Mehendale at the helm as her first Commanding Officer. The commissioning will augment the offensive capability of the Indian Navy, and the Western Naval Command in particular.
