The indigenous stealth frigate INS Mahendragiri, equipped with a potent weapon system and cutting-edge sensor suite, has been delivered to the Indian Navy, officials said on Friday.

The sixth ship of the Nilgiri-class (Project 17A) was handed over on April 30 at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited, Mumbai, marking what officials described as a significant milestone in India’s pursuit of self-reliance in warship design and construction.

"Project 17A frigates are versatile multi-mission platforms designed to address current and emerging challenges in the maritime domain. This state-of-the-art frigate reflects a quantum leap in naval design, stealth, firepower, automation and survivability, and stands as an admirable symbol of Aatmanirbharta in warship building," the defence ministry said in a statement.

Mahendragiri — Yard 12654 — is the fourth ship of this class built at Mazagon Dock. Designed by the Warship Design Bureau and overseen by the Warship Overseeing Team (Mumbai), the P17A frigates represent a generational leap in indigenous ship design, stealth, survivability and combat capability. Built under the philosophy of integrated construction, the vessel was delivered within envisaged timelines.

Officials noted that P17A ships are fitted with more advanced weapon and sensor systems compared to the earlier Shivalik-class frigates. "These ships are configured with Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) propulsion plants, comprising a diesel engine and a gas turbine that drive a Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) on each shaft, and a state-of-the-art Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS). The potent weapon and sensor suite comprises anti-surface, anti-air, and anti-submarine warfare systems the statement said.

Mahendragiri is the sixth P17A ship delivered to the Navy in less than 17 months since the first frigate, INS Nilgiri, was handed over by Mazagon Dock on December 20, 2024.

Officials said the delivery highlights India’s growing capabilities in design, shipbuilding and engineering, and reflects the Navy’s continued focus on Aatmanirbharta. With nearly 75 per cent indigenous content, the project has involved over 200 MSMEs and generated employment for around 4,000 people directly and more than 10,000 indirectly.

Earlier, the stealth frigate INS Taragiri was commissioned into the Navy on April 3, while INS Dunagiri, built at Garden Reach Shipbuilding and Engineers Ltd, was delivered on March 30 in Kolkata.
