Dunagiri is the indigenous stealth frigate delivered to the Indian Navy as part of Project 17A, which represents the Nilgiri class of advanced warships. Built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers in Kolkata, it is a modern multi-mission platform equipped with advanced stealth features, sensors, and weapon systems such as BrahMos missiles and MRSAM. The ship is named after the earlier INS Dunagiri, continuing its legacy. With around 75% indigenous content, the project significantly boosts self-reliance, supports MSMEs, and contributes to employment generation in the defence sector.
