Indian Navy puts out RfI for next-gen missile vessel

 

The Indian Navy's (IN's) Directorate of Ship Production has issued a request for information (RfI) relating to six Next Generation Missile Vessels (NGMVs) under the 'Buy (Indian)/Buy and Make (Indian)' category of the Defence Procurement Policy (DPP) 2013.
The RfI, issued in early February, aims to "finalise the specifications of the NGMVs to meet the Indian Navy's requirements," after which requests for proposal (RfPs) will be issued to selected vendors.
The RfI stipulates that the IN only welcomes responses from vendors that meet certain "minimum qualifying criteria" including the key stipulation that it should be a shipyard that has built "vessel(s) of similar specifications".
