Amini is the 119th
warship built by GRSE and the 81st warship delivered to the Navy. Earlier, on 30 Mar 26, GRSE achieved a
historic milestone by delivering three frontline naval platforms – Dunagiri,
Sanshodhak and Agray – to the Indian Navy on the same day. This
first-of-its-kind achievement underscored the shipyard’s robust infrastructure,
enhanced production capabilities and proven ability to execute multiple complex
shipbuilding projects concurrently. The delivery of Amini further reinforces
this track record, reflecting GRSE’s sustained commitment to timely execution
and delivery of critical naval platforms.
Designed for operations in coastal waters, ‘Amini’ is equipped to
undertake comprehensive sub-surface surveillance, search and attack missions, and
coordinated anti-submarine warfare operations in conjunction with aircraft.
Equipped with an advanced Combat Management System, lightweight torpedoes and
anti-submarine warfare rockets, the warship is capable of detecting, tracking
and engaging underwater threats, significantly enhancing the Indian Navy’s
capabilities to safeguard India’s maritime interests and
coastal waters. Measuring
approximately 77.6 metres in length, the vessel is powered by marine diesel
engines coupled with waterjets, providing enhanced agility and maneuverability.
With a shallow draught of approximately 2.7 metres, the warship is ideally
suited for littoral operations, enabling it to access shallow coastal waters
and effectively undertake missions involving the detection and neutralisation
of sub-surface threats.
In keeping with GRSE’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar
Bharat, ‘Amini’ reflects the shipyard’s strong focus on indigenous
shipbuilding. The ASW-SWCs incorporate approximately 88% indigenous content and
are equipped with a 30mm Naval Surface Gun manufactured by GRSE, further
highlighting the shipyard’s contribution towards developing and integrating indigenous
defence technologies.
