75% materials for P17A ships sourced from MSMEs
Mumbai, Sept 12 (KNN) Reinforcing the government's vision of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat', about 75 per cent of the orders of the Project 17A ships have been placed on indigenous firms including MSMEs.
The fifth Stealth Frigate of P17A, 'Taragiri' being built at MDL was launched on Sunday by Charu Singh, President Navy Wives Welfare Association (NWWA - Western Region).
Following the launch, 'Taragiri' will join its two sister ships at MDL for outfitting activities towards the run up for their delivery to Indian Navy.
Seven P17A Frigates are under various stages of construction at MDL and GRSE.
Indigenous construction of complex frontline ships such as Stealth Frigates has catapulted the nation to a higher pedestal in the arena of shipbuilding.
It provides additional benefits such as economic development, employment generation for Indian Shipyards, their sub-contractors and ancillary industry.
Speaking on the occasion, Vice Admiral Ajendra Bahadur Singh, FOC-IN-C, Western Naval Command praised the efforts of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited, Warship Design Bureau and other Naval Teams in realizing the nation's quest for self-reliance with regard to warship building.
He added that 'Taragiri' will surely add to IN's forte as and when it makes its way into the blue waters. (KNN Bureau)
