India government is examining a proposal for extending service life of six submarines of the Navy.
The decision follows after an internal explosion occurred onboard INS Sindhurakshak around midnight on August 13, 2013 in the forward compartment, where ordnance was stowed, resulting in major fire onboard.
The submarine is presently submerged and resting at the bottom at the Naval Dockyard, Mumbai.
A Board of Inquiry (BoI) has been constituted by Indian Navy to investigate into the circumstances leading to the incident.
The submarine which is submerged in the water is not accessible due to severe deformation of the interiors after the explosion and fire, as also due to poor visibility under water and siltation.
