The Public Authority of India Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) has delivered to the Indian Navy all the special steel requirements for the country's first indigenously designed and built Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC) ‘INS Arnala’. ‘INS Arnala’ officially joined the navy on June 18, 2025.
SAIL has also procured special steel for seven other ASW-SWC corvettes being built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE). This is an important step towards India's goals of indigenous production and reduction of imports in the defense industry.
SAIL is strongly supporting the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self-Sufficient India) initiative. The company has previously contributed to the indigenization of the country's defense industry by supplying special steel for important naval projects such as INS Vikrant, INS Vindyagiri, INS Nilgiri and INS Surat.
