The send is powered through 4 Gasoline Generators totalling 88 MW energy and has a most velocity of 28 Knots. Constructed at an total price of just about Rs 20,000 crores, the challenge has been improved in 3 Stages of contract between MoD and CSL, concluded in Would possibly 2007, Dec 2014 and Oct 2019 respectively. The send’s keel used to be laid in Feb 2009, adopted through launching in Aug 2013.

With the supply of Vikrant, India has joined a choose staff of countries having the area of interest capacity to indigenously design and construct an Airplane Provider.
Vikrant has been constructed with a prime stage of automation for equipment operation, send navigation and survivability, and has been designed to deal with an collection of fixed-wing and rotary plane. The send would be able to running an air wing consisting of 30 plane comprising of MIG-29K fighter jets, Kamov-31, MH-60R multi-role helicopters, along with indigenously manufactured Complex Gentle Helicopters (ALH) and Gentle Battle Airplane (LCA) (Army).
