Triput Class Frigates: India’s Indigenous Maritime Strength Unveiled

Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL), in its ongoing partnership with the Indian Navy, reached a significant milestone with the launch of the first of two Advanced Frigates on 23rd July at GSL, Goa. Named Triput, symbolizing the formidable strength and operational reach of the Indian Navy, the ship was launched by Rita Sreedharan, in the presence of the Governor of Goa, P S Sreedharan Pillai.

The contract for constructing two Triput class Advanced Frigates was formalized between the Ministry of Defence and Goa Shipyard Limited on 25th January 2019. These frigates, designed for combat operations against enemy surface ships, submarines, and aircraft, are part of India’s strategic maritime defense framework.

The Triput class ships measure 124.8 meters in length, and 15.2 meters in width, with a draught of 4.5 meters and a displacement of approximately 3600 tons, capable of achieving speeds up to 28 knots. The ships are equipped with advanced stealth features, advanced weapon & sensors, and platform management systems.

Constructed entirely at GSL, the Triput class represents a significant leap in indigenous shipbuilding capabilities, following in the footsteps of the Teg and Talwar class ships acquired from Russia. Embodying the principles of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, these frigates incorporate a substantial percentage of indigenous equipment, including weapons and sensors. This initiative underscores India’s commitment to enhancing local defense production, fostering employment opportunities, and bolstering national capabilities.
