German Atlas Elektronik and French Naval Group are in the final race for supplying heavyweight torpedoes for the Indian Navy’s tender to acquire around 100 of them for the Scorpene class conventional and Arihant class nuclear submarines.
“The last day for responding to the tenders was January 17 last week and only two firms including German Atlas Elektronik and French Naval Group have responded to the request for proposal issues in this regard,” defence sources told ANI here.
