INS Udaygiri delivered: Second stealth frigate under Project 17A; why is it important?
ANI photo NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy received Udaygiri, a new stealth frigate built under Project 17A on Tuesday, from Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in Mumbai. This is the second of seven ships being built under the project, with construction underway at MDL and GRSE in Kolkata. Project 17A is an advanced version of the Shivalik-class frigates already in service. These warships are built for "blue water" operations and can handle both traditional and modern threats across India's maritime zone. Udaygiri carries forward the legacy of the original INS Udaygiri, which served the nation for 31 years before being decommissioned in August 2007. The new ship comes with upgraded stealth features, modern weapons, and advanced sensors. It represents a significant improvement over the earlier P17 class. The ship has been designed by the Indian Navy's Warship Design Bureau and built using an 'Integrated Construction' method — a process that reduces build time by pre-fitting components in smaller sections. Thanks to this method, Udaygiri was delivered within 37 months of its launch. Compared to the earlier version, the new P17A ships are 4.54% larger in hull size and have a sleeker, stealthier profile. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like El SUV ideal para vos y las rutinas de tu familia. AutoSpecial Ver oferta Undo They are powered by a combination of diesel engine and gas turbine (CODOG setup), along with a Controllable Pitch Propeller on each shaft. An Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) runs onboard systems. The ship's weapon suite includes supersonic surface-to-surface missiles, medium-range surface-to-air missiles, a 76mm gun, and close-range rapid-fire weapons. The Defence Ministry said Udaygiri reflects the country's progress in self-reliant shipbuilding, with over 200 Indian MSMEs involved. Most of the warship's major components, weapons, and sensors are sourced from local manufacturers. The project has also created jobs — about 4,000 directly and over 10,000 through indirect and support roles. The remaining five ships of the P17A class are in different stages of construction and are expected to be delivered by the end of 2026.

In a first, Indian Navy inducts woman officer into its fighter pilot stream
In a historic moment for the Indian Navy, Sub-Lieutenant Astha Poonia has officially become the first woman to be inducted into the fighter stream, marking a major milestone in the Navy's journey towards greater gender inclusivity in combat roles, news agency ANI reported. Sub-Lieutenant Poonia received the prestigious "Wings of Gold" from Rear Admiral Janak Bevli, Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Air), during a ceremony held on Thursday (July 3). She completed the Second Basic Hawk Conversion Course at Naval Air Station INS Dega in Visakhapatnam, alongside Lieutenant Atul Kumar Dhull, who was also conferred the same honour. Defence acquisition council clears key deals On the same day, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), headed by the Defence Minister, approved 10 capital acquisition proposals worth approximately ₹1.05 trillion. The proposals include the procurement of indigenously developed Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missiles (QRSAMs), naval vessels, and other defence systems. The approvals cover armoured recovery vehicles, electronic warfare systems, and an integrated common inventory management system for the tri-services. Surface-to-air missiles were also part of the key items cleared. Navy gets stealth edge with Udaygiri frigate Adding to its modernisation, the Indian Navy recently received Udaygiri, the second stealth frigate of the Project 17A class, from Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL). The advanced multi-mission warship, capable of operating in blue-water environments, was designed by the Navy's Warship Design Bureau. According to MDL, Udaygiri features cutting-edge technologies for stealth, sea-keeping, and survivability, with hull shaping and signature suppression techniques making it comparable to top-class global warships. INS Arnala joins Navy's shallow-water warfare fleet Further strengthening its anti-submarine warfare capabilities, the Navy last month commissioned INS Arnala — the first of 16 indigenously built Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Crafts (ASWSWC). Named after a coastal fort in Maharashtra, the 77-metre-long ship is part of the Eastern Naval Command and is the largest Indian Naval warship to be powered by a diesel engine-waterjet combination. The vessel is equipped with advanced underwater sensors, acoustic communication systems, and a comprehensive weapons suite, including lightweight torpedoes, rockets, decoys, and mine-laying capabilities. It also supports search and rescue operations in coastal waters.

India gets a 'F35' stealth war machine, but it's not a plane and here's what makes it special
Indian armed forces have received F-35 stealth warship, but it's not a fighter jet. The Indian Navy recently received a significant boost to its maritime capabilities with the delivery of Udaygiri , the second stealth frigate under Project 17A, on 1 July 2025 with a Pennant number F35. It is a special moment for the Indian Navy as the warship was handed over by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) in a record 37 months, marking a major milestone in India's push for self-reliance in defence manufacturing. Second P-17A Frigate 'Udaygiri' Delivered to Indian Navy Yard 12652 (Udaygiri) is the second of seven multi-mission stealth frigates being constructed under Project 17A, a follow-on of the Shivalik-class (Project 17) currently in service. Designed for blue water operations, the ship is equipped to counter both conventional and non-conventional maritime threats. Construction of the class is underway at MDL, Mumbai, and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata. The warship is 142.5 meter long, 16.9 meter wide, and weighs 6342 tonnes. It has a maximum speed 30 knots. Enhanced Capabilities and Design Improvements Project 17A frigates incorporate enhanced stealth features and a significantly upgraded weapons and sensor suite compared to their predecessors. The hull of the P-17A class is 4.54% larger than the P-17 class and features a Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) propulsion system with controllable pitch propellers and an Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The stealth features of Project 17A frigates are achieved through a combination of reduced radar cross section (RCS), noise, and infrared signatures, said Rear Admiral A.K. Saxena, Director, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited, in an interview to a news agency. RCS is minimized by modelling the ship's superstructure, reshaping high-reflection areas, and using radar-absorbent or transparent materials, with most weapons vertically launched and deck fittings concealed to present a cleaner profile. Noise reduction focuses on limiting hydrodynamic noise from the hull and propellers, and structure-borne noise from onboard machinery through specialized mounts and acoustic enclosures. Infrared signatures are reduced by lowering exhaust temperatures using the Venturi effect and fluid injection, decreasing heat plume visibility and enhancing survivability.

From radars to missiles, here's what it'll get F35 Udaygiri's Legacy and Indigenous Development Udaygiri carries forward the legacy of its namesake, a former steam-powered frigate decommissioned in 2007 after 31 years of service. The new vessel reflects the Indian Navy's growing in-house design capability, led by the Warship Design Bureau, and increasing reliance on indigenous defence manufacturing. "The delivery of Udaygiri showcases the nation's ship design, ship construction, and engineering prowess enabled by a strong industrial ecosystem supported by over 200 MSMEs," an official statement noted. The P-17A programme has resulted in direct employment for around 4,000 personnel and indirect employment for over 10,000 through ancillary industries. The project has driven self-reliance, economic growth, and the expansion of India's defence industrial base.
