Steel Cutting of First Next Generation Missile Vessel (NGMV) for Indian Navy at Cochin Shipyard Limited, Kochi
'Steel Cutting' ceremony of the first ship of Next Generation Missile Vessel (NGMV), was held at Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) on December 16, 2024, Kochi in the presence of Cmde S. Parthiban, Warship Production Superintendent, Kochi. Contract for construction of six NGMVs was concluded with CSL in March 2023 with induction of the ships in the Indian Navy planned from 2027 onwards.
The NGMVs are planned to be installed with state-of-the-art weapon and sensors, which would significantly enhance the combat capabilities of the Indian Navy as a Future Ready and Combat Ready Force. The construction of the ships reinforces India's commitment to build a strong and modern Navy, capable of operating in the complex maritime environment of the Indian Ocean Region.
The ships are envisaged as high-speed vessels with a formidable array of weapon and sensors including Surface to Surface Missile System, Anti-Missile Defence Systems, Air Surveillance and Fire Control Radars. All the major role defining equipment have been indigenously developed and manufactured, underscoring the Nation's prowess and are in consonance with GoI initiative of an 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'.
