In a landmark event in the indigenous warship building, two capital warships of the Indian Navy will be launched simultaneously at Mumbai's Mazagon Dock Ltd (MDL) on Tuesday.
The warships, designed at the Directorate of Naval Design (DND) and built entirely at MDL, are the Project 15B destroyer called Indian Naval Ship (INS) Surat and the Project 17A frigate INS Udaygiri. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will preside over both events.
The navy's internal design house, the DND, has designed the four destroyers being built under Project 15B and seven frigates under Project 17A.
The DND is the fountainhead for all of the navy's warship design. During the building phase, MDL has ordered around 75 per cent of the equipment and systems from indigenous firms including micro, small e and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the Ministry of Defence (MOD) said in a statement.
