Defence minister Manohar Parrikar on Monday launched the first of the six Scorpene submarines (Project 75) at the Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) in Mumbai. An MDL official said the submarine will undock on Monday and after carrying out tests at sea it will dock back. "After undergoing trial test run at sea to check technical glitches, if any, the sub will be commissioned on September 2016," said the official. Speaking to TIMES NOW, defence minister Manohar Parrikar attacked the UPA govt for not taking defence projects seriously.
