Imphal was delivered to the Indian Navy on October 20 after completing a rigorous and comprehensive trial programme both in the harbour and at sea. The ship's keel was laid on May 19, 2017, and the ship was launched into water on April 20, 2019.
Measuring 163 metres in length, displacing 7,400 tonnes and with 75% indigenous content, Imphal can rightfully be regarded as one of the most potent warships to have been constructed in India.
A testament to India's growing shipbuilding prowess in pursuit of the national vision of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat'. The warship is a true harbinger of a developed India, in tune with the national vision for 'Amrit Kaal'. The ship boasts a high indigenous content including medium range surface-to-air missiles, BrahMos surface-to-surface missiles, indigenous torpedo tube launchers, anti-submarine indigenous rocket launchers and 76mm super rapid gun mount
INS Imphal is fitted with a modern surveillance radar which provides target data to the gunnery weapon systems of the ship. The ship's Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities are provided by the indigenously developed Rocket Launchers, Torpedo Launchers and ASW helicopters. The ship is equipped to fight under Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) warfare conditions and has a high degree of automation and stealth features further enhancing her combat capability and survivability
