Expanding Maritime Capacity: Indian Coast Guard to Deploy 300 New Vessels.
A 117-metre vessel is a statement of intent, and the Indian Coast Guard is making one with 300 of them. This expansion, with each ship carrying 11 officers and 110 personnel at a top speed of 23 knots, is a calibrated investment in maritime reach. It is a practical, measurable response to the demands of ocean stewardship, reinforcing that protection is as much about presence as it is about policy.
