(HINDI) INS VIKRANT TO BE DELIEVERED TO INDIAN NAVY BY LATE 2018 SAYS REAR ADMIRAL GONE VIRAL

INS Vikrant (Sanskrit: विक्रान्त víkrānta "courageous") (IAC-I) is the first aircraft carrier built in India and the first Vikrant-class aircraft carrier built by Cochin Shipyard (CSL) in Kochi, Kerala for the Indian Navy. The motto of the ship is Jayema Sam Yudhi Sprdhah (Sanskrit: जयेम सं युधि स्पृध:), which is taken from Rig Veda 1.8.3 and is translated as "I defeat those who fight against me". Work on the ship's design began in 1999, and the keel was laid in February 2009. The carrier was floated out of its dry dock on 29 December 2011 and was launched in 2013. The ship is currently being fitted out, according to the Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) it is expected to be completed by 2023, though the Navy still hopes to partially commission the ship in late 2018. The project cost has escalated dramatically to ₹19,341 crore (US$2.9 billion) as of 2014. Cochin Shipyard has offered repeatedly to build a second similar Project 71 Indigenous Aircraft Carrier while the Navy finalizes plans for the configuration of its larger and likely nuclear-powered next carrier INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER INS VIKRANT AIRCRAFT CARRIER
