In the chairman of the Indian Navy ceremony put into operation by Udaygiri and INS Himgiri in Visakhapatnam, Minister of Defense Rajnath Singh on 26 August sent a courageous message to India’s enemies and said India had never attacked any country, but its safety is at risk.
“India never believes in exposure to strength; she has never attacked any country first. When our security is at risk, we know how to give a corresponding answer,” Singh said.
He added that Udaygiri and INS Himgiri’s commissioning is “proof of our vision and determination and dream, and the dream will come true against Atmanirbhar Bharat”, not only the Indian Navy, but also maintain peace and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region.
Singh also said: “The geo-strategic situation is such that it also has the ability to directly influence our economic development. Our energy requirements, oil, natural gas, all depend on the security of this region.

This means the first time the two fighters in the front line were built on separate shipyards at the same time, emphasizing the growing strategic meaning of the east coast of India.
Udaygiri and Himgiri were originally designed by the Indian Navy’s War Boat (WDB), and Udaygiri was mainly 100.
According to the Ministry of Defense, these ships have the main progress in design, secrecy, weapons and sensors and are fully equipped to perform a wide range of naval operations in open ocean or “blue water”.
Built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd. (MDL) in Mumbai and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata, Udaygiri and Himgiri reflect the expanding expertise in India in war construction and effective coordination between its highest defensive ships.
Himgiri is the first P17A vessel built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in Calcutta.
It comes in the middle of the growing naval meaning of the Indian East coast. According to a press release of the Ministry of Defense, both frigates will be put into the Eastern fleet, which will strengthen the ability of India to protect their naval interests throughout the Indian Ocean.
The Indian Navy said on Monday: “Two state -of -the -art combat platforms join the Indian Navy fleet and operate the power of India at sea.”
