Well to the best of my knowledge the Indian Navy operates two types of conventional attack submarines; the Sindhughosh (Russian Kilo-class submarine design) and the Shishumar (German Type 209/1500 design) classes

India also possesses a single Akula-class nuclear-powered attack submarine named INS Chakra.

Arihant, was launched on 26 July 2009 in Visakhapatnam (India) and is currently undergoing sea trials
