Explanation
Nilgiri, Surat and Vaghsheer are frontline Indian Navy platforms commissioned together at Mumbai on 15 January 2025: INS Nilgiri (Project 17A stealth frigate), INS Surat (Project 15B destroyer) and INS Vaghsheer (Kalvari-class submarine). They are not tiger reserves — there is no 'Vaghsheer' tiger reserve — nor biodiversity parks. Their simultaneous commissioning in January 2025 marked a landmark day for indigenous warship building.
