| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The launch of the first Scorpene built by Mazagon Docks Limited (MDL) on 6 April 2015 received extensive media coverage. It marked reawakening of indigenous submarine construction capability, which had been sent into hibernation by an indecisive and myopic defence ministry in 1994. |
