ICG Commissions ‘Amulya’: A Priceless Leap in India’s Coastal Might
The Indian Coast Guard commissioned ICG Ship Amulya on 19 December 2025 in Goa, marking another decisive stride in the nation’s coastal defence journey. Built by Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL), Amulya is the third vessel in the Adamya-class Fast Patrol Vessel series, part of an ambitious eight-ship programme shaping the future of indigenous shipbuilding.
True to its name—Amulya, meaning priceless—the 51-metre Fast Patrol Vessel is a statement of intent. With over 60% indigenous content, the ship stands tall as a living example of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, where design meets determination and self-reliance sails ahead at full throttle.
Engineered with a modern design philosophy, Amulya blends speed, endurance, and rapid-response capability into a lethal yet agile platform. Powered by two 3000 KW advanced diesel engines, the vessel can clock a top speed of 27 knots and sustain operations for 1,500 nautical miles, making it mission-ready for extended patrols across India’s maritime zones.
Outfitted with indigenous state-of-the-art weapons and systems, the ship offers superior manoeuvrability and operational flexibility at sea. Its mission spectrum spans surveillance, interdiction, search and rescue, anti-smuggling operations, and pollution response—reinforcing the Coast Guard’s frontline role in safeguarding national maritime interests.
Amulya will be based at Paradip, Odisha, operating under the Commander, Coast Guard Region (North East). The vessel is commanded by Commandant (JG) Anupam Singh and crewed by 05 officers and 34 personnel, a compact team built for high-impact operations.
The commissioning ceremony was presided over by Shri Amitabh Prasad, Joint Secretary (IC), Ceremonial & CAO, and witnessed by senior officials from the Indian Coast Guard, Central and State Governments, and GSL—each presence underscoring the strategic weight of the moment.
As the Indian Coast Guard continues its fleet expansion, the induction of Amulya isn’t just another addition—it’s momentum. Momentum towards stronger coastal security, sharper response capabilities, and an India that builds, protects, and leads from its own shores.
