Indian Coast Guard Ship Rajdoot, the sixth in the series of eight Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPVs) designed and built by M/s Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata was commissioned at Kolkata by Shri Arunava Dutt, IDAS, the Controller General of Defence Accounts in the presence of Inspector General KC Pande, PTM, TM, Commander Coast Guard Region(North East) and other senior dignitaries of the Central and State Govt.
The 50 meter indigenous IPV displaces 300 tonnes and can achieve a maximum speed of 34 knots, with an endurance of 1500 nautical miles at an economical speed of 16 knots.

The special features of the ship include an Integrated Bridge Management System (IBMS), Integrated Machinery Control System (IMCS) and an integrated gun mount with indigenous Fire Control system (FCS).
