Newdelhi:31/8/23:Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), one of India’s largest steel producers, has once again demonstrated its strong focus on enhancing India’s defense capabilities by supplying the entire quantity of special steel plates required for the construction of the seventh frigate ship under the indigenous P17 A Project for the Indian Navy.

A step towards Aatmanirbharta in Defence

SAIL has emerged as a crucial partner in this new project, providing about 28,000 tonnes of special steel plates for all the vessels. The special steel plates supplied by SAIL have high strength, toughness and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for naval applications.

The seventh frigate and the fourth warship built by M/s Mazagon Dock Ltd, is set to be launched on 1st September, 2023 by Shri Jagdeep Dhankar, Hon’ble Vice President of India. This event will mark a significant milestone for the nation’s maritime security.
