INS Dunagiri is the fourth ship of the Nilgiri-class stealth guided missile frigates (P-17A) being built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) for the Indian Navy.[13]

Naming

Named after the Himalayan peak, Dunagiri. Dunagiri' s crest had a Himalayan Osprey on it.[14] This ship inherits the name and legacy of the erstwhile Leander-class frigate INS Dunagiri (1977), now decommissioned.

Construction

This is the second ship of the P-17A series of ships that are being built by GRSE. The ship was laid down on 24 January 2020 and it was launched on 15 July 2022.[15][16] The ship is expected to be delivered by Q1 2026 and commissioned in the same year.[17]
