Adamya-class patrol vessel is a series of eight fast patrol vessels (FPVs) being built for the Indian Coast Guard by Goa Shipyard Limited in Vasco da Gama, Goa.
GSL-class vessels have a length of 52 meters and a beam of 8 meters with a design speed of over 27 knots. These vessels, which will be equipped with state of the art equipment and computerized control systems, are state-of-the-art Fast Patrol Vessels for the Indian Coast Guard. They are based on an GSL's in-house design. [2] The vessels are to be equipped with controllable pitch propeller (CPP)-based propulsion system. [3]
The primary roles of the vessel include fisheries protection and monitoring, patrol within India's exclusive economic zone, coastal patrol, anti-smuggling, anti piracy, and search and rescue operations. The vessels also have a secondary role of providing communication link and escorting convoys during hostilities and wartime. [4]
The ships have indigenous content of over 60%. [5]
On 28 March 2022, the Indian Ministry of Defence awarded the contract for eight fast patrol vessels to the Goa Shipyard Limited. The cost of the project amounts to ₹ 473 crore (US$56 million). Under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) Category, GSL designed, developed, and manufactured these surface platforms indigenously. [6] As per the contract, the vessels needed to be delivered within 45 months of signing the contract. [4]
The construction began circa 2023 on all the ships. [7]
On 25 August 2024, Defence Secretary Shri Giridhar Aramane laid the keel of four Coast Guard vessels. [2] On 28 October, GSL launched first two ships simultaneously, named Adamya (256) and Akshar (257), utilising the state-of-art Ship Lift System. [5] [8]
On 6 January 2025, the third and fourth ships, named Amulya (258) and Akshay (259), were launched. [9]
The fifth ship of the class, Achal, was launched on 16 June 2025. [10]
The sixth ship of the class, Atal, was launched on 29 July 2025. [11]
The first ship Adamya was commissioned on 25 June 2025. [1]
