''Sindhughosh''-class submarines are diesel-electric submarines in active service with the Indian Navy. Their names are in Sanskrit, but in their Roman-alphabet forms sometimes a final short ''-a'' is dropped. The ''Sindhughosh'' submarines, designated 877EKM, were designed as part of ''Project 877'', and built under a contract between Rosvooruzhenie and the Ministry of Defence (India). The submarines have a displacement of 3,000 tonnes, a maximum diving depth of 300 meters, top speed of 18 knots, and are able to operate solo for 45 days with a crew of 53. The final unit was the first to be equipped with the 3M-54 Klub (SS-N-27) antiship cruise missiles with a range of 220 km. INS ''Sindhuvijay'' has been upgraded with the hydro acoustical USHUS complex and the CCS-MK radio communications system.〔(Russian shipyard to float upgraded Indian Navy Kilo class submarine )〕 On 29 August 2014 DAC cleared the long-awaited mid-life upgrade of the four Kilo-class submarines, which would be carried out in Indian shipyards and is likely to cost Rs. 4,800 crore (4,800 million).〔 ==Incidents== *On 10 January 2008, INS ''Sindhughosh'' collided with the cargo ship MV ''Leeds Castle''.
