AM/NS India supplies all steel for new Navy warship INS Malvan
India has a new navy ship called INS Malvan.
The ship belongs to the Indian Navy, which protects the country's seas.
Its job is to find and fight enemy submarines in shallow water.
A company called ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India made all the special steel used to build the ship.
Special steel for navy ships must be very strong and safe.
The company supplied 100 per cent of that specialised steel.
The ship was officially given to the Navy on July 22.
The ceremony happened at Karwar in Karnataka.
A leader from the steel company said this shows India can build things for its own defence.
Making this steel needs very careful quality checks and expert science.
ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS India) supplied 100 per cent of the specialised steel required to build INS Malvan.
INS Malvan is the Indian Navy's latest indigenously built Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Watercraft (ASW-SWC).
The warship was commissioned on July 22 at Karwar, Karnataka.
AM/NS India VP Ranjan Dhar said the commissioning shows how advanced manufacturing in India supports the country's defence preparedness.
Producing naval-grade steel demands stringent quality standards, advanced metallurgical expertise and close collaboration with customers.
