The Project 18A destroyer, also referred to as Next Generation Destroyers (NGD), are a class of planned stealth guided-missile destroyers (DDG's) to be built for the Indian Navy. The class will be a follow-on for Visakhapatnam class destroyer which is in service.

The Project 18A class DDG's are designed by the Warship Design Bureau (WDB), with primary public-sector builders like Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) lined up for construction, though the project is still awaiting final clearance and formal contract awards from the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC).
