Saryu class Naval Offshore Patrol vessels (OPV) are advanced patrol ships under construction for the Indian Navy at the Goa Shipyard Limited. These vessels are capable of ocean surveillance and monitoring and can maintain control of shipping lanes. They can also be deployed to provide security to offshore oil installations, and other naval assets.[1]
The first ship INS Saryu was launched on 30 March 2009 in the presence of Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Sureesh Mehta.[2] It was reported in 2009 that the Indian government had placed a tender for five additional Saryu class OPVs and that the Pipavav shipyard was interested in bidding for the contract.[3] In 2010, it was announced that the Pipavav shipyard had won a 2,600 crore (US$494 million) deal to build 5 OPVs for the Indian Navy.[4]
