India Commissions Three Advanced Naval Vessels, Showcasing Indigenous Defense Capability

The Indian Navy inducts destroyer INS Surat, frigate INS Nilgiri, and submarine INS Vaghsheer, marking a historic milestone in India's maritime history and self-reliance efforts.

This is the first time India has simultaneously commissioned three major naval platforms: a destroyer, a frigate, and a submarine, all built domestically.
INS Surat is the final ship of the Project 15B destroyers, featuring advanced weapon systems, network-centric capabilities, and 75% indigenous content.
INS Nilgiri, the lead ship of the Project 17A frigates, incorporates next-generation stealth technology, modular construction, and advanced aviation facilities.
INS Vaghsheer, the sixth and final Scorpene-class submarine, is equipped for anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare, intelligence gathering, and extended underwater operations.
The commissioning underscores India's growing maritime strength and its strategic focus on self-reliance in defense manufacturing under the 'Make in India' initiative.
