The Delhi class destroyers are classified as guided-missile destroyers. The Delhi class vessels are the largest warships to be fully designed and built in India, although they will soon be superseded by the Kolkata class destroyers and the Vikrant class aircraft carrier. These ships have been built at Mazagon Dock Limited in Mumbai.
INS Delhi (D61) is the lead ship of her class of guided-missile destroyers of the Indian Navy. She was built at the Mazagon Dock Limitedin Mumbai and commissioned on 15 November 1997. This class is among the largest warships to be designed and built in India.[2]
INS Delhi is the second vessel of the Indian Navy to bear the name. She inherits the mantle from the Leander class cruiser of the same name, which had an illustrious career in the Portuguese-Indian War of 1961, during the annexation of Goa, Daman and Diu when the ship fired a few rounds against a civilian airport radio tower nearly destroying it.

Exercise Konkan-09 with the Royal Navy, was conducted off the coast of the United Kingdom.[3] Exercise Varuna 2009 with the French Navy was off the coast of France.[4]
