The order includes advanced stealth frigates with Brahmos missiles, anti-submarine weapons, and indigenous electronic warfare systems.
The project may be split between MDL and GRSE to expedite delivery, similar to Project 17A where both yards constructed Nilgiri class frigates.
The new warships will feature high indigenous content, boosting local suppliers and vendors significantly.
MDL, building Kalvari class submarines and Project 15B destroyers, is set to receive additional orders, strengthening its order book.
GRSE is constructing offshore patrol vessels and anti-submarine corvettes, with recent success in securing export orders.
