When commissioned the platforms will enhance the combat capability of the Indian Naval fleet.

Project 17A

Project 17A frigates is a design derivative of the Shivalik class stealth frigates.

Construction of P17A ships differ in the very concept of warship building by way of adoption of the modern technology ‘Integrated Construction (IC)’ where the blocks are pre-outfitted before joining to reduce the build period of warships.

The P17A class frigates are being built using indigenously developed steel and fitted with weapons and sensors along with Integrated Platform Management System. These ships are having stealth features.

INS Nilgiri is the first ship of Project17A.
