#CutTheClutter: Modi, France & Scorpenes...

THEPRINT
About this episode

There is a buzz that an agreement for 3 more Scorpene-class submarines may be finalised when PM Modi visits Paris later this week as guest of honour for Bastille Day. Six submarines of this class have already been built in India by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders as part of a deal with France’s Naval Group. In Ep 1268 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about the Indian Navy’s submarine fleet — how it began and where it stands, the delayed Project 75 India to build submarines with the latest tech, and more private players coming into this very specialised field. PS: At the end, find a short segment on why Indian test cricket is in a slump. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
