According to the Narendra Modi-led union government’s vision of a “AatmaNirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India), more than 75% of Project 17 A’s orders have been given to domestic companies, including MSMEs and ancillary sectors. President Droupadi Murmu emphasized the importance of Vindhyagiri during the ceremony. He expressed his hope that as INS Vindhyagiri sailed with unwavering determination and upheld the values we cherish, it would draw strength from the very mountains it was named after.
