INS Vagir—the fifth of the Kalvari-class submarines—was commissioned into the Indian Navy on Monday in presence of Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R Hari Kumar. The submarine was indigenously built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), Mumbai, with technology transfer from France. Vagir means "sand shark," which represents "stealth and fearlessness," and officials said the submarine would boost the defense prowess of the country.
