New Delhi, June 26 (UNI) In a significant boost to maritime security and self-reliance, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) today inducted ‘Adamya’, the first Fast Patrol Vessel under the eight FPV project in Goa.



The FPV is the first ship in its class within the ICG fleet to feature Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPPs) and indigenously developed gearboxes, offering superior maneuverability, operational flexibility, and enhanced performance at sea, a Defence Ministry statement said.



With 60 percent indigenous content, Adamya is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a 30mm CRN-91 gun, two 12.7mm stabilised remote-control guns with fire control systems, an Integrated Bridge System (IBS), an Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS), and an Automated Power Management System (APMS). These advanced systems will empower the ICG to perform its charter of duties with increased precision, efficiency, and responsiveness across India’s extensive maritime domain.



Designed and built entirely by Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL), Adamya exemplifies India’s growing shipbuilding capability and represents a major stride towards the nation's vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.





These FPVs will act as force multipliers in the ICG’s operational fleet, enabling swift response for maritime law enforcement, coastal surveillance, search and rescue operations, and the protection of India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
