What is the name of the submarine commissioned by India on January 15, 2025?
INS Vagsheer
INS Vagsheer was commissioned into the Indian Navy on 15 January 2025 at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai. It is the sixth and last of the Scorpene-class (Project-75) diesel-electric attack submarines built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited in collaboration with France's Naval Group.
On the same day Prime Minister Narendra Modi commissioned three frontline platforms together, INS Surat (destroyer), INS Nilgiri (frigate) and INS Vagsheer (submarine), marking a major milestone for indigenous naval shipbuilding.
Why the others are wrong: INS Kalvari, INS Khanderi and INS Vela are also Project-75 Scorpene-class submarines, but they were commissioned earlier (Kalvari in 2017, Khanderi in 2019 and Vela in 2021), not on 15 January 2025.
Hence, the answer is INS Vagsheer.
