India's first indigenously built stealth anti-submarine warship, INS Kamorta, was inducted into the navy Saturday, dpa reported.
Defence Minister Arun Jaitley commissioned the warship at the naval dockyard at the southern port city of Visakhapatnam.
The ship adds to a fleet that received the largest indigenously built vessel earlier in August, part of a program to modernize the Indian Navy.
The INS Kamorta is the first of four planned corvettes developed by the Directorate of Naval Design.
The warship is equipped with anti-submarine warfare, anti-air and anti-surface weapons and sensors, and it can carry an anti-submarine warfare helicopter.
India has the world's fifth largest navy with around 140 ships.
