Boost To Naval Self-Reliance Amid Rising Strategic Competition
The Indian Navy has commissioned three indigenously built warships, including a stealth frigate and vessels for hydrographic surveys and anti-submarine warfare. The commissioning of INS Dunagiri, INS Sandhayak, and INS Agray reflects India’s advancement in achieving defence self-sufficiency and augments the Navy’s operational capabilities. The project highlights the growing defence manufacturing ecosystem in India, with over 200 MSMEs contributing to the program. This development was reported by NDTV.
