The INS Arighaat will complement the INS Arihant in bolstering India's nuclear triad, which ensures the ability to launch nuclear weapons from land, air, and sea.
According to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), the INS Arighaat is "significantly more advanced" than the INS Arihant, incorporating cutting-edge indigenous technological enhancements.
Both the INS Arihant and INS Arighaat are powered by 83 MW pressurised light-water nuclear reactors, allowing them to remain submerged for extended durations — an advantage over conventional diesel-electric submarines, which must surface frequently to recharge their batteries.
