NEW DELHI --- India and France will step up negotiations to expand the Scorpene submarine contract after the presidential elections in France in May. India will push for incorporating several upgrades in the proposed three new submarines that the two sides would be discussing, a senior defence official told The Hindu.

commissioned in a few months. The second submarine Khanderi was launched in January.

Another official said that detailed discussions would be held at the India-France strategic dialogue expected around December. As per plan, all submarines are expected to be launched from MDL by 2020 and both sides are on to firm up a deal before that to keep the production line running and preserve the expertise.

The upgrades will help address concerns of any compromise in the submarine’s capability following the leak of its technical specifications in Australia last year.
