On April 20th 2022, Vagsheer was launched by the Defence Secretary of India, Dr. Ajay Kumar. Vagsheer is the last of the six P75 Scorpene submarine entirely built by the Indian shipyard - Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), based on years of successful technology transfer and partnership with Naval Group.

The Vagsheer is the last of the series of six Kalvari-class submarines ordered by India in 2005 to be launched. MDL teams will now have to complete the integration and setting to work of the equipment and machinery onboard before beginning the sea trials, including weapon and sensor trials.
