Indian Navy to commission stealth frigate Taragiri on April 3, 2026, marking a significant milestone for domestic defence manufacturing. Built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited in Mumbai, the 6,670-tonne guided-missile frigate features over 75 percent indigenous content and components sourced from more than 200 MSMEs, strengthening the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The fourth ship of Project 17A class incorporates advanced stealth hull design with reduced radar cross-section, CODOG propulsion system, and integrated combat management capabilities including supersonic missiles and anti-submarine warfare systems. This commissioning reflects India's growing capacity in advanced naval vessel construction and reinforces the government's push toward self-reliance in defence production while supporting the broader domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
