DCNS, a world leader in naval defence, signed through DCNS India a contract with SEC Industries worth Rs. 310 crore (approximately €50 million) for the local manufacture of equipment for the P75 Scorpene submarines.

DCNS India signed a contract with SEC Industries for the manufacture of equipment (hull hatches, cofferdam doors, knuckle hoses, ballast vent valves, high pressure air cylinders, weapon handling and storage system). Over the coming years, SEC will manufacture equipment under a TOT provided by DCNS India and they will be progressively delivered to our customer, Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL), for integration onboard the P75 Scorpene submarines.

“The contract with SEC is part of the indigenisation programme implemented by DCNS India under the P75 Mazagon Purchased Materials (MPM) contracts. Through this... we are developing strong industrial partnerships and capabilities for the P75 and future programmes. Together with our partners, we are positioning ourselves for the long term”, declared Bernard Buisson, Managing Director of DCNS India.

The concerned equipment are highly specific due to the physical constraints they will face onboard the submarines. As for the recent deliveries from Flash Forge, the local production will follow DCNS’ strict quality standards to ensure the submarines’ optimal performances with maximum safety over the long term.
