The Scorpene class is based on the French-designed Scorpène submarine, developed by the Naval Group (formerly DCN) in collaboration with Indian shipbuilders. These submarines are known for their stealth, agility, and advanced sonar and weapon systems.

The primary features of the Scorpene class include superior underwater endurance, the ability to carry out covert operations, and the capability to launch a wide range of missiles and torpedoes. The submarines are also equipped with advanced technologies for reduced noise levels, which enhance their effectiveness in combat scenarios.
