INS Khanderi, second of the six Scorpene-class submarines being built in India for the navy, was launched at the Mazagon Dock Limited, paving the way for her sea trials. The first one, INS Kalvari, is already undergoing trials and is expected to be inducted into the force around May .

INS Khanderi is expected to be delivered to the Indian Navy in a year after completing the sea trials.

By 2020, the last of the six Scorpene submarines will be inducted into the Navy.
