Powering the next generation of India’s naval capabilities: four mtu 12V 396 TE54 generator sets now onboard INS Mahendragiri. With a combined output of 4 MW, our mtu power generation solutions provide the reliable electrical energy needed to support the complex operational requirements of the Indian Navy’s newest Nilgiri-class stealth frigate, ensuring high availability and mission readiness at sea. Commissioned on 11 July 2026 in Visakhapatnam by India’s Honourable Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, INS Mahendragiri is the sixth indigenous Nilgiri-class stealth frigate and a significant milestone in India’s naval modernization journey. Designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau, the vessel features more than 75% indigenous content alongside advanced stealth capabilities, modern weapons, and sophisticated sensor systems. The commissioning further strengthens the longstanding partnership between Rolls-Royce and the Indian Navy. Just weeks earlier, INS Agray and INS Dunagiri also entered service with mtu technology onboard. While INS Dunagiri is equipped with four mtu 12V 396 TE54 gensets, INS Agray is powered by three mtu 20V 4000 M93L engines, delivering exceptional performance and manoeuvrability. Today, more than 1,400 Rolls-Royce engines power platforms across the Indian Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Army, reflecting a 90-year legacy of partnership, innovation, and commitment to strengthening India’s sovereign defence capabilities. Congratulations to the Indian Navy and all partners involved in this important achievement. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJ2w3JMP picture; (C) Rolls-Royce
