Keel Laying of Third Fleet Support Ship for Indian Navy
The keel laying ceremony for the third Fleet Support Ship (FSS) of the Indian Navy took place at L&T Shipyard, Kattupalli on July 9, 2025. The Indian Navy has contracted HSL for five FSS, with deliveries starting in mid-2027. The ships will enhance the Navy's 'Blue Water' capabilities, carrying essential supplies for fleet operations and supporting humanitarian efforts during disasters. This project highlights the public-private partnership in India's shipbuilding industry and aligns with government initiatives like Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India.
