Three indigenous warships to join the Indian Navy fleet

• The Indian Navy will induct three indigenous warships—INS Dunagiri, INS Agray, and INS Sanshodhak—into its fleet during a ceremony in Kolkata on June 21, 2026.

• Designed by the Indian Navy's Warship Design Bureau, these vessels have been constructed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata.

• The induction of these warships will significantly bolster India's maritime security capabilities. It also symbolizes the nation's self-reliance in defense production and its growing confidence in indigenous technology.

• Built by GRSE—which operates under the Ministry of Defence—these ships are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and modern combat capabilities.

• The three warships will provide the Navy with a significant strategic edge across various domains, including frigate operations, anti-submarine warfare, and maritime surveying.

• Their induction will further strengthen the Indian Navy's operational capabilities and maritime surveillance infrastructure.

• It is noteworthy that the Indian Navy has been rapidly modernizing its fleet in recent years.

• Earlier, in January 2025, INS Surat, INS Nilgiri, and INS Vaghsheer were inducted into the Navy simultaneously.

• Now, the induction of three more indigenous warships is expected to give fresh momentum to the country's maritime power.
