Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a big name in building infrastructure, just launched its second special ship for the Indian Navy. This new ship, called INS Utkarsh, was launched at L&T’s shipyard near Chennai, just three months after the first ship, INS Samarthak. The first ship is getting ready for tests before it joins the Navy.
These special ships, known as multi-purpose vessels (MPVs), can do many important tasks. They help test new weapons and tools, keep watch over the sea, assist during disasters, and help clean up pollution in the ocean. They can also help launch and recover smaller boats and drones.
L&T designed these ships at its own design center in Chennai and built them at the Kattupalli Shipyard. In addition to these ships, L&T is also working on three training ships and six other defense vessels for the Navy through a partnership with the government. They are also fixing another Navy ship, INS Tir, at the Kattupalli yard.
