INS Udaygiri

Yard 12652 (INS Udaygiri), the second ship of Project 17A stealth frigate, being built at Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDSL), was delivered to the Indian Navy on 01 July 2025.

The Project is a follow-on of the Shivalik class (Project 17) frigates active in service. Udaygiri is the second among the seven P17A frigates under construction at MDL, Mumbai and GRSE, Kolkata.

These multi-mission frigates are capable of operating in a ‘blue water’ environment — referring to the open ocean — dealing with both conventional and non-conventional threats in the area of India’s maritime interests.

The remaining five ships will be delivered progressively by the end of 2026.
