INS Taragiri Stealth Frigate

planned

INS Taragiri is the fourth warship under the Project 17A programme, representing a generational leap in stealth, survivability, and combat capability. It is a 6,670-tonne advanced indigenous stealth frigate built for the Indian Navy, emphasizing stealth and combat integration with a significantly reduced radar cross-section. The ship is powered by a Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG) propulsion system, enabling high-speed strike capability and long-endurance deployment. Its weapon suite includes supersonic surface-to-surface missiles, medium-range surface-to-air missiles, and advanced anti-submarine warfare systems. The frigate has over 75% indigenous content, reflecting India's growing capability to design and build complex naval platforms domestically, supporting thousands of jobs and strengthening the defence industrial base. It is equipped for multi-role operations including humanitarian assistance, maritime security, and strategic presence missions.
