India would receive its first new generation Nerpa Akula-II class nuclear attack submarine by March next year on a 10-year lease with the vessel being inducted into the Russian Navy prior to its transfer. The Nerpa submarine was today formally inducted into the Russian Navy with the raising of St Andrews Flag, shipyard officials said.
The commissioning of the submarine coincided with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to the region, but it was not clear whether he was present at the ceremony.The submarine will be subsequently leased to the Indian Navy under the name INS Chakra in March under the $650 million for a 10-year lease.
The 12,000-ton K-152 Nerpa, an Akula II class nuclear-powered attack submarine belongs to the class of the quietest and deadliest of all Russian nuclear-powered attack submarines.The Nerpa was to be initially leased to the Indian Navy in mid-2009, but its delivery was delayed due to a fatal accident killing 21 crewmen and technical staff following the release of lethal Freon gas in the sleeping quarters, while on trial sailing in the Sea of Japan.
Built by the Amur Shipyards in Komsomolsk-on-Amur the submarine has 'successfully passed final trials', a Pacific Fleet spokesman said."A state commission has concluded that judging by the results of all trials, the Nerpa nuclear submarine is ready to enter service with the Russian Navy," a Pacific Fleet official was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
According to earlier media reports, an Indian crew is expected to arrive on Russia's Bolshoi Kamen (Big Rock) port on the Pacific Coast in January for joint pre-delivery sailing with the Russian naval crew to be followed by independent sailing under the supervision of Russian instructors.

This happens due to corrup babus , govt relishing money is not perfectly going to the peoples , need to plug out middlemen . if govt releases 10/rs, only single rs is reaching . food corporation should take necessary steps to avoid this kind of virus .
and more over spending for defense is very important for india to save peoples form brutal enemies.
Ya, But India grows at 9 Percent Yearly, so In just 10 Years, we will have a 3 trillion dollar economy. 10 years is not far away.
Our Neighbour Pakis need to stop protituting themselves to the Americans, It makes the whole South look bad.
Beggars
It seems that Hindu lala is in extreme desperation regarding Pakistanis. After failing to undo the partition, which was effectively a rape of their mother India, the Indians are now suffering from self-deception and waiting for some one else to harm Pakistan. With 75% population living under extreme poverty, mass killing of millions of female fetus per year due to the fear of hunger, thousands of farmers killing themselves every year out of hunger, and people selling their wife and daughters to fill their stomach with a few pieces of bread, war-mongering Indian government spends tens of billions of dollars for getting military dud systems every year. One wonders why these silly Indians turn into a monster and start bashing any one who writes on their filthy and miserable state of affairs. It’s the Indians who are ultimately suffering due to their governments bad policies. So, we Pakistanis really give a damn to all these filthy stupid Indians. Just as an example, one of these Indian dungers comments quite often on this web page. That gaddah can not even spell prostitution in his posts on this web site.
Indeed, The Pakis are prostitutes to the rest of the developed and developing world.
Even the Chinese hate these muslim Pakis. Jounrneyman has a documentary where the Han Chinese openly claim that Muslim Pakis are realatives and decendants of Pigs, which is the reason Pakis don't eat Pork.
ROFLCOPTER. No More said, Thanks to our Chinese Bros.
