INS Aridhaman was commissioned as India’s third indigenous nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, marking a significant milestone in the country’s defence capabilities. It belongs to the Arihant-class submarines and was developed under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project. Built at the Ship Building Centre in Visakhapatnam, the submarine strengthens India’s Nuclear Triad by enabling sea-based nuclear deterrence. With enhanced size and firepower, it can carry advanced missiles like the K-15 and K-4. This development reflects India’s growing self-reliance in defence technology and its focus on strengthening maritime and strategic security.
