Prime Minister Narendra Modi will commission three indigenously built Indian Navy platforms — Dunagiri, Sanshodhak and Agray — in Kolkata on June 21, according to The Hindu. The three platforms are frontline platforms of the Indian Navy, a fact corroborated across multiple news outlets. The Hindu also reported that the platforms are named Dunagiri, Sanshodhak and Agray.

Deccan Chronicle reported that the three platforms represent key operational capabilities in maritime combat, hydrographic surveying and anti‑submarine warfare. It added that Dunagiri is equipped with BrahMos surface‑to‑surface missiles and a medium‑range surface‑to‑air missile system, while Sanshodhak is the fourth Survey Vessel (Large). The platforms were built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in Kolkata, Deccan Chronicle said.

The Times of India reported that the Indian Navy will commission the indigenous stealth frigate Mahendragiri (F38) on July 11 in Visakhapatnam. Mahendragiri is the sixth Project 17A stealth frigate and integrates BrahMos and Barak‑8 missiles, the outlet noted. The commissioning of Mahendragiri will enhance India’s naval capabilities, the Times of India added.
