INS Visakhapatnam is 65 percent home-made.

India will launch a new naval stealth destroyer in Mumbai Sunday, sources said Friday.

The new warship, Visakhapatnam, is named after a port city in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh and it will be able to operate in nuclear, biological and chemical atmosphere, the sources said.

Three more such warships would be inducted into the Indian Navy by 2018, in a bid to bolster the Indian Navy's capabilities, particularly after it suffered a number of setbacks in recent years.

Visakhapatnam is 65 percent home-made. It will be equipped with Israeli Multi-Function Surveillance Threat Alert Radar and Barak long-range, surface-to-air missiles, the sources said.
