The sources said the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the make-in-India project named ”P-75 India” will be issued soon.
The sources said the groundwork like specifications of the submarines and other critical requirements for issuance of the RFP for the mega project has been completed by separate teams of the Defence Ministry and the Indian Navy.
