The Indian Navy's Project 18A aims to develop next-generation stealth guided-missile destroyers that are larger, stealthier, and more heavily armed to address emerging maritime threats. The Defence Acquisition Council, led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, has given in-principle approval to this ₹80,000 crore programme, marking a major transformation of India's surface combat fleet to enhance power projection across the Indo-Pacific.
