Construction
The construction of these vessels at GRSE was slowed down due to a combination of design changes, labor problems, delays in equipment availability and integration problems with the Trishul SAM. This caused severe delays to the commissioning date of INS Brahmaputra. The vessel was laid down in 1989 as a part of the Godavari Class. After the new design for Project 16A was finalized in Sep 1994, the ship was finally commissioned on 14 April 2000.
