The ship is indigenously designed and built by M/s L&T. Formal Delivery of the ship to Indian Navy is planned in end 2026. These Cadet Training Ships will be utilised for training Officer Cadets, including women, at sea after their basic training ashore, and Cadets from Friendly Foreign Countries.
This is yet another significant milestone in Indian Navy’s pursuit towards indigenous shipbuilding and is in consonance with the Government of India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiative.
