India’s first Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC), referred to as IAC-I during its development, was commissioned into the Indian Navy as INS Vikrant.

INS Vikrant was designed by the Directorate of Naval Design of the Indian Navy and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) in Kochi, Kerala. It is the largest warship ever built in India.

INS Virat was India’s second aircraft carrier (previously HMS Hermes of the Royal Navy) and served the Indian Navy from 1987 to 2017. INS Vikrant (the first carrier, purchased from the UK) served from 1961 to 1997. The new indigenous carrier was named ‘Vikrant’ as a tribute to India’s first aircraft carrier.
