: The fourth offshore patrol vessel (OPV) for the Coast Guard, built by Larsen and Toubro, was formally launched here Friday.
The vessel has been built by the company under a contract bagged from the Defence Ministry in 2015 for the delivery of seven OPVs. In April 2018, the first OPV was delivered followed by the second and the third in August.
Managing director and chief executive officer of the company SN Subrahmanyan said, "Timely deployment of defence vessels has assumed greater significance for the nation in the current geopolitical situation."
