INS Betwa to Get Major Propulsion Upgrade in Rs 498.58-Crore Deal

BY Uday India

The Indian Navy’s operational capabilities and indigenous ship-maintenance infrastructure are set to receive a significant boost with the Ministry of Defence signing a Rs 498.58-crore contract with Cochin Shipyard Limited for the major upgrade of INS Betwa. The project, signed in New Delhi on November 11, 2026, in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, will involve replacing the warship’s existing steam-based propulsion system with a modern diesel-engine-based system, alongside substantial improvements to its combat capabilities. The initiative reflects India’s growing emphasis on modernising its naval assets while strengthening domestic expertise in complex warship repair and maintenance.
