The Indian Navy has commissioned two advanced stealth frigates—INS Udaygiri and INS Himgiri—under Project 17A, in a historic ceremony at the Naval Base in Visakhapatnam on August 26, 2025.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh presided over the event, marking the first time two frontline warships built at different Indian shipyards were commissioned simultaneously. INS Udaygiri was built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL), Mumbai, and INS Himgiri by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata.

Both frigates are equipped with state-of-the-art stealth features, weapons systems, and sensors, and were designed in-house by the Navy’s Warship Design Bureau (WDB). Udaygiri is the 100th warship designed by the bureau, symbolizing India's growing defence self-reliance.

Archaeologists have unearthed a Jurassic-era creature in the Jaisalmer area of Rajasthan, which resembles a crocodile. The fossil has been named a phytosaur, and according to researchers, it could be more than &nbsp;200 million years old. The creature that lived partly on land and in water measures between 1.5 to 2 metres, and is possibly the ancestor of modern-day crocodiles. Senior hydrogeologist Dr Narayandas Inkhiya and his team made the fascinating discovery in the western Indian state, and believe more such historical treasures could be hidden in the desert. Inkhiya believes the region can be developed into an important spot for fossil tourism. Meanwhile, geoscientist CP Rajendran confirmed that this Jurassic era creature later "evolved into the crocodiles that you find now."

According to previous studies, the area was submerged under the ancient Tethys Sea millions of years ago. It was flanked by a river on one side and a sea on the other.
