The Ministry of Defence has signed contracts worth Rs 53,866 crore with Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE) and Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) for the construction of eight Next Generation Corvettes (NGCs) for the Indian Navy. GRSE will build five corvettes, while GSL will construct the remaining three. The NGCs are designed to replace the ageing Khukri and Kora classes of Indian Navy vessels. The new warships will feature advanced sensors, sophisticated weapons systems, and multi-role capabilities, including offensive ship-to-ship and ship-to-surface missile attacks, anti-missile defence, anti-submarine warfare, and maritime interdiction operations. The first ship is expected to be delivered by 2030.
