Next Generation corvette (NGC) are a planned class of eight anti-surface warfare (AsuW) corvettes for the Indian Navy. Under this programme, the Indian Navy intends to acquire advanced ships armed with anti-ship or Land-attack missiles like BrahMos. Ships in this class will feature advanced stealth features like a low radar cross section (RCS), infrared, acoustic and magnetic signatures.[2][1][3][4]
According to a report on 2 May 2024, Next Generation Corvettes will be fitted with indigenous marine diesel engines which will be developed under the 'Make-I category'[a]. The development and manufacturing of the engines will probably be carried out by Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd and Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Ltd (GRSE). The upgrade of two of Brahmaputra class frigates would probably be the first to have these indigenous diesel engines. Orders for around thirty diesel engines would be issued after the engine's successful development.[5][6][7]
