Indian Navy Commissions INS Malvan

Indian Navy commissioned INS Malvan, the second Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft, at Karwar to strengthen coastal defence capabilities.

INS Malvan is the second vessel of the Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft programme. The warship has been designed for anti-submarine operations, coastal surveillance and maritime security missions. The induction of indigenous naval platforms supports India's goal of self-reliance in defence manufacturing and strengthens the Indian Navy's shallow-water operational capabilities.
