A major milestone in achieving self-reliance in warship design and construction,\u00a0Himgiri<\/em>\u00a0(Yard 3022), the\u00a0third ship\u00a0of\u00a0Nilgiri<\/em>\u00a0Class (Project 17A) and the\u00a0first of the class built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE),\u00a0was delivered to the Indian Navy on\u00a031 Jul 2025\u00a0at GRSE, Kolkata. Project 17A frigates are versatile multi-mission platforms, designed to address current and future challenges in the maritime domain.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Himgiri<\/em>\u00a0is a reincarnation of the erstwhile INS Himgiri, a Leander-class frigate, that was decommissioned on 06 May 2005 after 30 years of glorious service to the nation. This state-of-the-art frigate reflects a quantum leap in naval design, stealth, firepower, automation and survivability and is an admirable symbol of\u00a0Aatmanirbharta<\/em>\u00a0in warship building.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Designed by the Warship Design Bureau (WDB) and overseen by the Warship Overseeing Team (Kolkata), P17A frigates reflect a generational leap in indigenous ship design, stealth, survivability, and combat capability. Driven by the philosophy of \u2018Integrated Construction\u2019, the ship is modular and ergonomic and has been built within the built timelines envisaged.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

P17A ships are fitted with an advanced weapon and sensor suite compared to the P17 (Shivalik) class. These ships are configured with\u00a0Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) propulsion plants, comprising a diesel engine and gas turbine, that drives a Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) on each shaft, and a state-of-the-art Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS). The weapon suite comprises supersonic Surface-to-Surface missile system, Medium-Range Surface to Air Missile system, 76 mm Gun, and a combination of 30 mm and 12.7 mm rapid-fire Close-in Weapon Systems.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Delivery of\u00a0Himgiri<\/em>\u00a0showcases the design, ship construction and engineering prowess of the nation, and reflects Indian Navy\u2019s unrelenting focus on\u00a0Aatmanirbharta<\/em>\u00a0in both ship design and shipbuilding. With an\u00a0indigenous content of 75%,\u00a0the project has involved over\u00a0200 MSMEs\u00a0at GRSE and has enabled generation of employment for approx. 4,000 personnel directly and more than 10,000 personnel indirectly.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
