The Indian Navy will induct the INS Androth, the second Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), into service at the Visakhapatnam Naval Dockyard. This induction marks a major step in bolstering the Navy’s capabilities and fostering self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
Built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata, Androth incorporates over 80% indigenous components, demonstrating India’s dedication to maritime independence and utilizing domestically developed technologies.
