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]

Construction

The first ship, INS Saryu was launched on 30 March 2009 in the presence of Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Sureesh Mehta.[9] INS Saryu was handed over to the Navy on 21 December 2012[10][11] and was commissioned on 21 January 2013 at Vasco da Gama, by the Commander-in-Chief of Andaman and Nicobar Command, Air Marshal P K Roy.[2][12]

The second ship, INS Sunayna, was handed over to the Indian Navy on 2 September 2013; her first CO was to be Cdr Aftab Ahmed Khan.[13] The three remaining ships were delivered subsequently with an interval of six months each.[12] INS Sumitra, the fourth and last OPV, was delivered to the Navy by GSL on 16 July 2014.[14] Two ships were delivered to Sri Lankan Navy in 2017 and 2018.
