India is set to establish a new naval base for nuclear submarines and warships in coastal Andhra Pradesh by 2026.
The naval base is a part of Project Varsha.
The new base will be located near the coastal village of Rambilli.
Similar to China’s extensive nuclear submarine base at Hainan Island, the water depth at Rambilli will enable submarines to enter and exit the base without being spotted by satellites.
Similar to Project Varsha from the east, Karwar base in Karnataka under Project Seabird safeguards the west coast.
