(https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleaseDetail.aspx?PRID=2275033®=3&lan g=1)Designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau and constructed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata,the vessels represent key operationalcapabilities across maritime combat, hydrographic surveying, and anti-submarine warfare. Together, they reflect the Navy’s balanced approach to capability development, strengthening bluewater operations, enhancing maritime domain awareness, and securing coastal waters against evolving threats.
Dunagiri, the fifth Project 17A stealth frigate, is equipped with advanced weapons and sensors, including BrahMos surface-to-surface
missiles and the Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile system, significantly
enhancing the Navy’s combat capability.
Sanshodhak, the fourth Survey Vessel (Large), is designed for coastal
and deep-water hydrographic surveys and collection of oceanographic and
geophysical data for defence and civil applications, and is equipped with
advanced survey systems including Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and
Remotely Operated Vehicles.
Agray, the fourth of the Arnala-class Anti-Submarine Warfare
Shallow Water Craft, is equipped with lightweight torpedoes, indigenous
rocket launchers, and shallow-water sonar systems to detect and engage
underwater threats in littoral waters.
The three platforms demonstrate the growing maturity of India’s
indigenous shipbuilding ecosystem, with indigenous content exceeding 75
percent. Their construction involved extensive participation by Indian industry,
including more than 200 MSMEs, and generated substantial direct and indirect
employment. The commissioning of these vessels highlights the collaborative efforts
of the Government of India, the Indian Navy, public sector shipyards, private
industry and MSMEs in advancing the objectives of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and strengthening India’s maritime capabilities.
