The Indian Navy will commission Mahe, the first of the Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), at the Naval Dockyard, Mumbai, on 24 Nov 2025. The ceremony, hosted by Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, will be presided over by General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff.
The commissioning of Mahe will mark the arrival of a new generation of indigenous shallow-water combatants - sleek, swift, and resolutely Indian. With over 80 percent indigenous content, the Mahe-class showcases India’s growing mastery in warship design, construction and integration. She will serve as a ‘Silent Hunter’ on the Western Seaboard - powered by self-reliance and dedicated to safeguarding India’s maritime frontiers.
