Nice one.

MRSV looks like an innovative proposal compared to carbon copy OPVs and FPVs that ICG has been inducting.

The most significant requirement is salvage, towing and diving support. I expect the ship to look like an offshore vessel. It could look like a smaller version of this;

.... or a larger version of this;

From the report of standing committee

"Indian Coast Guard : Budget 2026-27
Recommendation No. 9
The Committee learn that the amount allocated under Capital and Revenue
heads to Indian Coast Guard Organisation (ICG) in Budget Estimates (BE) 2026-27 is
₹4392.00 crore and ₹4000.00 crore, respectively. The Committee note that the Capital
allocation to Coast Guard in BE 2026-27 has seen an increase of approximately 7.8
percent compared to allocation in BE 2025-26. The reason for this significant increase
in allocation for Capital expenditure, as adduced by the Ministry of Defence, is large-
scale acquisition plan for Coast Guard comprising 2 Pollution Control Vehicles, 8 Fast-
Patrol Vessels, 12 New Generation Offshore Patrol Vessels, 6 Air Cushion Vehicles, 22
interceptor boats, helicopters, etc. in the immediate future. The Committee appreciate
that significant financial provision, double the Capital allocation of BE 2022-23, has
been made in this budget for capital budget for Coast Guard which will be a good step
further in the direction of strengthening our maritime and coastal security. The
Committee desire that details of this capital acquisition i.e. cost, timeframe for delivery
and induction in Coast Guard, indigenous or foreign sources/vendors etc. may be
intimated within three months of presentation of this Report."
