According to the Indian Coast Guard, the ship was launched by Neela Pathania, wife of Director General Virender Singh Pathania.

Pathania also lauded the shipyard for preparing the ship for launch within a span of nine months from keel-laying which is ahead of schedule despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
