Arihant testing is progressing smoothly, and the boat is performing very well.



The power plant is magnificent and will deliver much higher power than what people expect.

I expect its top speed to be ~ 32 Kts.

To add to above and also clarify the Arihant is being tested using on board power source and not the main N power plant.



Yes the main power plant rating is much higher than earlier anticipation.



In terms of speed it will match the top speed of Akula.
