Indian Navy Receives First Indigenous Multi-Purpose Vessel 'Samarthak'
The Indian Navy received its first indigenous multi-purpose vessel, 'Samarthak', built by Larsen & Toubro at Kattupalli Shipyard. The 107-metre ship, with over 75% indigenous content, is designed for maritime surveillance, reconnaissance, offshore patrolling, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief. It also serves as a trial platform for testing new weapons and sensors. 'Samarthak' reflects India's push for self-reliance in defense manufacturing under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, with a second vessel, 'Utkarsh', under construction.
