New anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft will be commissioned into the Indian Navy on Monday. The vessel, Androth, will be inducted into the Navy at a ceremony in Visakhapatnam and is expected to bolster its overall combat prowess.
"The commissioning of Androth marks yet another milestone in the Indian Navy's steady stride towards capability enhancement and indigenisation," the Navy said.
"The induction is part of a larger momentum that has seen several state-of-the-art warships join the naval fleet in recent months," it added.
Androth has over 80 per cent indigenous content and is built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, West Bengal.
The ship underscores the Indian Navy's commitment to enhancing indigenous capability through innovative technologies and homegrown solutions, the Navy said.
"The commissioning of Androth will significantly bolster the Navy's anti-submarine warfare capabilities, especially in countering threats in littoral waters," it said in a statement.
"It reflects the Navy's sustained emphasis on indigenisation, innovation, and capability enhancement, while also highlighting the vital role of GRSE in strengthening India's maritime security architecture," the Navy said.
