CSL lays keel for Navy’s next-gen missile vessels
CSL, a prominent Indian shipbuilder, has started construction of the Navy’s next‑generation missile vessels. Designed for high speed, the ships will mount surface‑to‑surface missiles, an anti‑missile defense system, and sophisticated air‑surveillance and fire‑control radars. The launch supports India’s broader strategy to modernize its surface fleet and strengthen indigenous defense manufacturing. This development follows recent procurement of advanced warships and reflects a commitment to self‑reliance.
