In December 2012, DSNS was awarded a contract by the Indonesian MoD to serve as the main contractor for development of the first frigate.

The SIGMA 10514 PKR project was launched by the MoD in August 2010. The first steel for the first vessel was cut in January 2014, with the keel laid in April that year at PT PAL shipyard.

In November 2013, French company Thales secured a contract from DSNS to supply a full mission systems suite for the first two SIGMA 10514 PKR frigates.
