Udaygiri is the second secret frigate according to project 17A and was built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (FM) in Bombai. It excels as the fastest ship in its class, which is to be delivered after starting, thanks to the modular approach to the construction used by Indian shipyards.
The 17A Fregata project with approximately 6,700 tonnes is approximately five percent larger than the previous shivalik frigates. They are characterized by more efficient design and reduced radar cross -section, which increases their secret skills.
Himgiri is the first P17A vessel built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in Calcutta.
