Indian Navy Receives Stealth Frigate Taragiri
The Indian Navy has received a new stealth warship named Taragiri.
This ship is the fourth of its kind in the Nilgiri Class and was built in India, showing the country's ability to make advanced warships.
Taragiri can carry powerful weapons like the BrahMos missile and is designed to be very stealthy and strong.
It was built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilding Ltd in Mumbai.
The ship is a big step towards making India self-reliant in building warships.
It also helped create many jobs for people.
The Indian Navy plans to get more ships like this in the future.
Taragiri, the fourth Nilgiri Class (Project 17A) frigate, was delivered to the Indian Navy in Mumbai on November 28, 2025.
The ship is equipped with advanced weapons including the BrahMos ship-to-ship missile and is designed for stealth and survivability.
Built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilding Ltd (MDL), Taragiri marks a significant milestone in India's self-reliance in warship design and construction.
The project involved over 200 MSMEs and generated employment for approximately 4,000 personnel directly and more than 10,000 indirectly.
