The largest warship formally included in India Navy in June, 2014 is

The answer is A) I.N.S. Vikramaditya. It is the largest warship among the options by a wide margin, at roughly 44,000 tonnes displacement. It is the refitted Soviet-era Admiral Gorshkov, bought from Russia and inducted into the Indian Navy as Vikramaditya, with its formal commissioning in India's service around June 2014.

• B) Prithviraj is a destroyer, a small surface combatant far below carrier tonnage.
• C) Rajendra is also a much smaller surface combatant, not a capital ship.
• D) Ashok is not a carrier or large warship in this class, so it cannot be the largest.

The core concept is the classification of naval vessels by displacement and role: a carrier is a capital ship, while destroyers and frigates are escorts. Mains often asks about India's maritime power and the role of carriers in the Indian Ocean, and Vikramaditya fits that discussion.

Trap: aspirants pick a name they recognise from newspapers, or assume the newest-sounding induction is the largest. Always check displacement and class, not just the commissioning news.
