\u2060Sept 2025 :<\/strong> The Indian Navy is set to commission its second state-of-the-art Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC),\u00a0Androth<\/em>,\u00a0at Naval Dockyard, Visakhapatnam on 06 Oct 2025.<\/strong>\u00a0The commissioning ceremony will be presided over by\u00a0Vice Admiral Rajesh Pendharkar, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command.<\/strong>\u00a0The event marks the formal induction of the second of the\u00a0sixteen<\/strong>\u00a0ASW-SWC ships into the Indian Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u2060Built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) Ltd., Kolkata<\/strong>, with over 80% indigenous components<\/strong>, Androth<\/em> is a testament to the Government of India’s vision of Aatmanirbharta<\/em><\/strong> and a shining symbol of India\u2019s growing maritime self-reliance. Constructed under the guidance of the Directorate of Ship Production and the oversight of the Warship Overseeing Team in Kolkata, Androth<\/em> was handed over to the Indian Navy on 13 Sept 2025<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2166488<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2060The name \u2018Androth\u2019<\/em> holds strategic and symbolic significance, derived from Androth Island in the Lakshadweep archipelago, underscoring India\u2019s commitment to safeguarding its vast maritime territories.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its previous avatar, INS Androth (P69) <\/strong>served the nation with distinction for over 27 years before being decommissioned.  The commissioning of the new Androth<\/em> honours the legacy and spirit of her predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2060Fitted with advanced weapon and sensor suites, modern communication systems, and waterjet propulsion, Androth<\/em> is equipped to detect, track, and neutralise underwater threats with precision.<\/strong> Its cutting-edge capabilities also enable it to undertake maritime surveillance, Search and Rescue operations, and coastal defence missions<\/strong> across the spectrum of threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2060The commissioning of Androth<\/em> marks another step forward in strengthening India\u2019s maritime security architecture. The ship will not only augment the Navy\u2019s anti-submarine warfare capabilities but also reaffirm the nation\u2019s resolve to design, develop, and build world-class warships through indigenous efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
