INS Taragiri Commissioned in Visakhapatnam Rajnath Singh Inducts Advanced Stealth Frigate to Boost Indian Navy Power in IndoPacific
INS Taragiri is set to be commissioned on Friday in Visakhapatnam, with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attending the event. The ceremony will be hosted by Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Kumar Tripathi.
The induction comes amid growing strategic importance of India’s eastern coastline, driven by evolving regional security dynamics and increased engagement in the Indo-Pacific. It reflects the Navy’s continued focus on boosting combat readiness and operational capability through fleet expansion.
As the fourth vessel in the Project 17A class, INS Taragiri is a 6,670-tonne warship representing the success of the ‘Make in India’ initiative and India’s advanced shipbuilding capabilities. Built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited, it marks a significant upgrade with enhanced stealth and reduced radar signature.
With over 75% indigenous content, the frigate highlights the strength of India’s domestic defence industry. More than 200 MSMEs contributed to its construction, supporting the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative and generating employment.
Powered by a Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) system, INS Taragiri offers high-speed and long-endurance performance. It is equipped with supersonic surface-to-surface missiles, medium-range surface-to-air missiles, and advanced anti-submarine warfare systems, all integrated through a modern combat management system for swift threat response.
Apart from combat operations, the frigate is designed for multi-role missions including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. As the Indian Navy continues to evolve into a modern, self-reliant force, INS Taragiri stands as a symbol of India’s growing maritime strength and commitment to securing its maritime interests.
