Germany is for the first time offering a military deal under the government to government umbrella for its new-generation conventional submarines that is having exceptional underwater endurance and it is in a departure from its traditional approach to business in India.


Sources have stated that Russian and French submarines are, too competing for the mega P 75I project, which is likely to see a private sector yard in India carry out a major chunk of the work and the formal proposal is being shared with the defense ministry in which the German government will give assurances on fair price, technology transfer and quality.


It is stated that India will be mandating Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) which is a technology that enables the submarine to remain underwater for several days at a stretch instead of coming up to surface frequently to replenish oxygen needed to burn the fuel for the submarines.


Meanwhile the German company Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems that manufactures the submarine has said that it is not in a position to comment on talks between the governments of the two nations, but has said that it was interested in offering its 214 class boats with robust transfer of technology, training and meeting offset obligations.
