NEW DELHI: A "steel cutting" ceremony at the L&T yard in Kattupalli, Tamil Nadu, marked the beginning of production of the second of the five fleet support ships (FFSs) ordered for the Indian Navy last year to boost its capabilities to replenish warships at sea, the navy said on Thursday.

The ceremony, which took place on Wednesday, comes eight months after the "steel cutting" ceremony of the first of the FFSs was carried out at Hindustan Shipyard Ltd (HSL) in Visakhapatnam. The defence ministry signed a ₹19,000-crore contract with HSL in August 2023 for the five vessels to replenish warships at sea and extend their range and endurance for missions.
