The MDL-class patrol vessels are a class of 14 fast patrol vessels being built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders the Indian Coast Guard.[1]

History

The Defense Ministry on 24 January 2024 signed a ₹1,070 crore (US$150 million) contract for multi role FPVs will be indigenously designed, developed and manufactured by MDL under Buy (Indian-IDDM) Category and all boats will be delivered by 63 months from signing.[2][3] The primary role of the FPVs will include patrolling coastal waters and protecting fisheries. It also has secondary roles like high-speed search and rescue missions in shallow or coastal waters, MEDEVAC operations, providing logistics support and communication links as well as provide coastal convoy escorts.[4]

On 26 August 2025, Mazagon Dock placed an order for 42 powerplants from Everllence to power the fast patrol vessels. Each vessel will be powered by three 16V175D high-speed engines each, all rated at 2,960 kW (3,970 hp), coupled with waterjet propulsion systems. The combined propulsion systems will help the vessels achieve a speed in excess of 33 kn (61 km/h). The 175D engines, slated for delivery between December 2025 and December 2027, features an eco-friendly design with a low fuel consumption and is compliant with the latest exhaust gas emission standards.[5]

Features

The FPVs will be equipped with multipurpose drones and wirelessly-controlled remote water rescue craft for surveillance and anti-smuggling operations in India's Exclusive Economic Zone.[6][7]
