The Indian Coast Guard has officially commissioned the ship Adamya, a 51-metre long fast patrol vessel, at Paradip Port. This event marks a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to strengthen its maritime security while promoting indigenous defence manufacturing.

Design and Indigenous Content

The vessel has been designed and constructed by Goa Shipyard Limited, a leading shipbuilding company in India. According to the Coast Guard, over 60 percent of the ship’s components are indigenous, reflecting the government’s emphasis on self-reliance and the Make in India initiative in the defence sector. The indigenous content spans critical systems, machinery, and structural components, highlighting India’s growing capability in building modern naval assets.

Series of Patrol Vessels

Adamya is the first in a planned series of eight fast patrol vessels intended for the Indian Coast Guard. These vessels are built to support multiple operational roles, including coastal surveillance, search and rescue, anti-smuggling operations, and protection of India’s maritime interests. Each vessel is equipped with advanced navigation and communication systems, as well as modern propulsion technology to ensure high speed and maneuverability in diverse sea conditions.

Strategic Importance

The commissioning of Adamya strengthens India’s coastal security infrastructure along strategic maritime zones. Fast patrol vessels like Adamya are crucial for monitoring exclusive economic zones, intercepting suspicious vessels, and conducting rapid-response operations, which are increasingly important given the evolving maritime security challenges in the region.

Boost to Indigenous Defence Manufacturing

The successful design and construction of Adamya by Goa Shipyard Limited underscores India’s capability to produce advanced naval platforms domestically. With a majority of the ship being indigenous, this initiative reduces dependence on imported technology and enhances self-reliance in the defence sector. It also provides opportunities for skill development and employment in India’s shipbuilding industry.

Way Forward

The remaining seven vessels in the series are expected to be delivered in the coming years, further enhancing the operational reach and readiness of the Indian Coast Guard. The commissioning of Adamya serves as a testament to India’s commitment to maritime security, indigenous defence manufacturing, and technological advancement in naval engineering.
