INS Nilgiri, the first ship of the P17A stealth frigate type, developed by the Warship Design Department of the Indian Navy, has excellent survivability and incorporates advanced features for maritime security (seakeeping) and stealth which reflect the modern type of indigenous frigates. INS Waghsheer, the sixth and final variant of the P75 Scorpene project, represents India's growing expertise in submarine construction. It has been built in collaboration with the French Navy Group.
