When did India acquire nuclear powered submarines for their navy?

India has been struggling to get a nuclear submarine in the water for some time. The technical challenges of "shrinking" a nuclear power plant to get one to fit on something the size of the submarine were daunting. On 26 July, 2009, India launched INS Arihant to gain them entry into the nuclear submarine club. That date might be the one asked about here, if something "exact" is being sought.
