A contract has been signed between both the parties and the delivery of ships is scheduled to commence from March 2027.

The project is expected to create several man hours of job as well as a major boost for MSME sector and India's goal to achieve 'Atmanirbharatha'.
It marks CSL's entry into advanced weapon intense platforms.
The primary role of the ships would be to provide offensive capability against enemy warship, merchantmen and land targets.
These ships will be capable of conducting Maritime Strike Operations, Anti Surface Warfare Operations and would be a potent instrument of sea denial for enemy ships especially at choke points.
