Indian Navy adding one new indigenous warship or submarine every 40 days: Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi
So 9 new ships in 2025? Can you list them? With their tonnage please.
#1 INS Surat (D69, P15B destroyer, ~7000t) c. 01.2025
#2 INS Vagsheer (S-26, Kalvari/Scorpene SSK, ~1700t), c. 01.2025
#3 INS Nilgiri (F33, P17A frigate, ~6500t), c. 01.2025
#4 INS Arnala (P68, ASW-SWC, ~900t), c. 06.2025
#5 INS Tamal (F71, Talwar frigate, ~4000t), c. 07.2025
#6 INS Udaygiri (F35, P17A frigate, ~6500t) c. 08.2025
#7 INS Himgiri (F34, P17A frigate, ~6500t), c. 08.2025
#8 INS Androth (P69, ASW-SWC, ~900t) c. 10.2025
#9 INS Mahe (P80, ASW-SWC, ~900t) c. 11.2025 (scheduled next week)
2025 has probably been a record-breaking year for the Indian Navy. Inductions will continue at pace in the near-term with four additional P17A frigates, two Talwar frigates and thirteen ASW-SWCs to be delivered over the next ~36 months. But there will almost certainly be a lull in combatant inductions for several years beginning late 2020s, with only the NGMV program (Next Generation Missile Vessel, ~1400t, six ships) likely to reach fruition in that period.
