PM Modi to Commission Three Naval Combatants, Inaugurate ISKCON Temple

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to dedicate three advanced naval combatants—INS Surat, INS Nilgiri, and INS Vaghsheer—during their commissioning ceremony at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai. Additionally, he will inaugurate the Sri Sri Radha Madanmohanji Temple, an ISKCON project, in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, as part of his visit to Maharashtra, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). The commissioning of these naval assets is a significant milestone in India’s journey toward becoming a global leader in defence manufacturing and maritime security. INS Surat, the final vessel of the P15B Guided Missile Destroyer Project, stands among the world’s most advanced destroyers, boasting 75% indigenous content and equipped with state-of-the-art weapon-sensor systems and network-centric capabilities. INS Nilgiri, the first of the P17A Stealth Frigate Project, is designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau, featuring cutting-edge technologies for enhanced stealth, survivability, and seakeeping, epitomising the next generation of indigenous frigates. INS Vaghsheer, the last of six submarines in the P75 Scorpene Project, reflects India’s growing prowess in submarine construction, developed in collaboration with France's Naval Group. The PMO also highlighted Modi's commitment to promoting India’s cultural heritage through the inauguration of the ISKCON temple project in Navi Mumbai. Spanning nine acres, the project features a temple with multiple deities, a Vedic education centre, proposed museums, an auditorium, and a healing centre. The initiative aims to foster universal peace, harmony, and brotherhood through Vedic teachings, emphasising the preservation of India’s rich cultural legacy. (ET)
