This missile launch is a significant milestone(मील का पत्थर) , not only for the Kalvari, which is the first in a series of Scorpene class submarines being built in India, but also in enhancing the Indian Navy’s sub-surface warfare capability. 

All six Kalvari class submarines being built in India will be equipped(सज्जित) with this anti-ship missile, which has a proven record in combat. These missiles will provide the submarines the ability to neutralise surface threats at extended ranges.
