New Delhi, Dec 13 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will dedicate to the nation, the naval submarine INS Kalvari, at Mumbai on Thursday.

The INS Kalvari is a diesel-electric attack submarine that has been built for the Indian Navy by the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited.

It is the first of six such submarines that will be inducted into the Indian Navy, and represents a significant success for the "Make in India" initiative.

The project has been undertaken with French collaboration.

The Prime Minister will dedicate the submarine at the Naval Dockyard, in the presence of the Defence Minister, members of the Maharashtra Government, and senior Naval Officers.

He will address the gathering, and undertake a visit of the submarine.

Incidentally, India's first submarine was also called INS Kalvari. This first of eight Foxtrot class submarines was decommissioned in 1996.

The new Kalvari is the first of six Scorpene class conventional diesel-electric submarines made in India, media reported
