Capable of operations under sail or power, and with complement of five officers, 31 sailors and 30 cadets embarked for training, it can remain at sea for at least 20 days at a time.

''Sudarshini''{{'}}s steel hull was launched on 25 January 2011 at the port town of [[Vasco da Gama, Goa]] on the west coast of India, and by then the major portion of work had been completed.
