In a significant stride towards bolstering India’s maritime prowess, President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the latest addition to the Indian Navy’s fleet, INS Vindhyagiri.
The launch event was held at the Kolkata-based Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE).
Following the launch of INS Vindhyagiri, the vessel will join its sister ships, INS Himgiri and INS Dunagiri, at the Outfitting Jetty at GRSE.
The vessel derives its name from the mighty Vindhya mountain range, symbolizing strength, determination, and unwavering resolve.
As INS Vindhyagiri touches the waters of the River Hooghly for the first time, it embarks on a journey that mirrors the resilience of the mountains after which it is named, upholding the cherished values that define our nation.
Project 17A Frigates are the follow-on class of the Project 17 (Shivalik Class) Frigates, with improved stealth features, advanced weapons & sensors and platform management systems.
This is the third and last stealth frigate that the Kolkata-based warship maker was contracted to build for the Navy under the project.
