Next Generation Corvette (NGC) are a planned class of eight anti-surface warfare (AsuW) corvettes for the Indian Navy. Under this programme, the Indian Navy intends to acquire advanced ships armed with anti-ship or land-attack missiles like BrahMos. Ships in this class will feature advanced stealth features like a low radar cross section (RCS), infrared, acoustic and magnetic signatures.
