Design and development

Saryu class was derived from Sankalp-class vessels built for the Indian Coast Guard.[5] The ships were designed by GSL's in-house design team and built at a cost of 2,452 crore (equivalent to 55 billion or US$650 million in 2023).[2][6] The vessels are powered by two Pielstick diesel engines rated at a combined 21,725 metric horsepower (15,979 kW), each driving a Wärtsilä WCP 5C10 controllable-pitch propeller through a reduction gearbox.[7][8]
