A total of seven ships will be built at [[Mazagon Dock]] and [[Garden Reach Shipbuilders &amp;amp; Engineers|GRSE]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ships have been named after the first major warships to be built in India, which in turn were named after hill ranges in India.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;et-nilgiri-mahendragiri&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite magazine |last1=Mohanan |first1=Kalesh |title=Indigenous Warship Building |magazine=Indian Defence Review |date=April–June 2012 |volume=27 |issue=2 |url=http://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/indigenous-warship-building/}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The construction of the first ship started in 2017 and the first ship is expected to delivered by 2022. The vessel will incorporate the latest stealth features.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;iex&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ForceIndia.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.forceindia.net/NovFeatureReport7.aspx|title=CCNS finally kickstarts Indian Navy&amp;#039;s Project 17A|last=Sengupta|first=Prasan K.|date=September 2012|publisher=ForceIndia.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150218093318/http://www.forceindia.net/NovFeatureReport7.aspx|archive-date=18 February 2015|url-status=dead|access-date=21 February 2015|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
The experience gained in designing the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Shivalik&amp;#039;&amp;#039;-class frigates (Project 17) will be applied to the Project 17A. This class will improve upon the earlier class in terms of stealth. They will have covered mooring deck and the number of antennae on the ship will be reduced by using [[EL/M-2248 MF-STAR]] [[active electronically scanned array|AESA]] radar. The P17A will also feature better roll stabilisation and a discreet visual profile. The weapon platform in the P17A ships will be compact and they will be armed with the [[Barak 8]] and [[BrahMos]]. The weapon systems will be [[flush deck]] mounted allowing vertical launch of missiles from under the deck.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;idrw&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/stealth-frigates-for-the-indian-navy/ |title=Stealth Frigates for the Indian Navy |publisher=Indian Defence Review |date=1 January 2013 |volume=27 |issue=4 |access-date=21 February 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731152126/http://www.indiandefencereview.com/news/stealth-frigates-for-the-indian-navy/ |archive-date=31 July 2017 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The crew complement will be reduced from the existing 257 (including 35 officers) to about 150 by using high levels of automation, which will reduce the operational costs by around 20 per cent and result in higher operational availability of the warships.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ForceIndia.com&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; The construction times will be reduced and productivity will improved by using [[Modular building|modular integrated construction]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.indiandefencereview.com/interviews/the-p-17-frigates-heralds-a-paradigm-shift-in-the-design/ |title=The P-17 frigates, heralds a paradigm shift in the design |publisher=Indian Defence Review |last=Verma |first=Bharat |volume=25 |date=27 April 2014 |issue=2 |access-date=21 February 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034401/http://www.indiandefencereview.com/interviews/the-p-17-frigates-heralds-a-paradigm-shift-in-the-design/ |archive-date=24 September 2015 |df=dmy-all }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The ship will have a displacement of 6,670 tonnes.&amp;lt;ref name=eoi_grse/&amp;gt; [[Fincantieri]] has signed a contract with [[Mazagon Dock Limited]] (MDL) to provide technical advice within the Project 17A.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://en.portnews.ru/news/211959/|title=Fincantieri to collaborate with the Indian shipyards MDL and GRSE for the Navy&amp;#039;s frigates|website=en.portnews.ru|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151225154417/http://en.portnews.ru/news/211959/|archive-date=25 December 2015|url-status=live|access-date=2015-12-25|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The anticipated cost for each vessel is above {{INRConvert|4000|c|0}} and the total deal is expected to be worth more than {{INRConvert|45000|c|lk=|year=2017}}.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Construction==&lt;br /&gt;
Four of the frigates will be constructed by Mazagon Dock Ltd in Mumbai and three by Garden Reach Shipbuilders &amp;amp; Engineers in Kolkata. The contract was signed with the two shipyards in February 2015.
