What is Multi Role Support Vessel mean?
Indian Navy has planned 4 LPDs/LHDs to be built in 2020s for amphibious warfare, island protection and disaster relief roles. Each ship is expected to displace 30 to 40 thousand tonnes and able to carry 12 special operations and 2 heavy-lift helicopters and armed with CIWS and missiles. It is also expected to carry directed energy weapons once developed and operationalised by India. Ships are to be manufactured by an Indian shipyard but may be based on design from a foreign one.
Navy envisaged customised amphibious warfare ships for specific roles and concept was dubbed as "Multi Role Support Vessel" (MRSV) in 2010s. Ministry of Defence had finalised a project for the procurement of four Landing Helicopter Docks. The project was worth ₹16,000 crore (US$2.6 billion), and tenders were issued in December 2013 to three domestic shipyards. The number however later was revised to two due to budget constraints. As tender couldn't reach conclusion even till 2020 causing very long delays, it was scrapped and replaced by a new RFI for 4 LPDs with new requirements. These will be first LPDs to be built in India. Indian navy currently uses an LPD INS Jalashwa (L41) imported from the United States.
