The 2,160-ton vessel is second in the series of seven OPVs being designed and constructed by LEtT under a March 2015 Ministry of Defence contract. The first vessel of the series ICGS Vikram was handed over on April 11 this year, as a curtain raiser for DEFEXPO-2018.
The delivery of ICGS Vijaya comes close on the heels of the launch of OPV-3 on August 28 at the LEtT Kattupalli shipyard. The work is simultaneously in progress on the OPVs 4, 5 Et 6, that are at different stages of completion.
