The ship is the last of the line of destroyers built under Project 15 which includes the Delhi-class (P-15), the Kolkata-class (P-15A) and the Visakhapatnam-class destroyer (P-15B). The commissioning commanding officer of Surat is Captain Sandeep Shourie.

Initially, the ship was speculated to be named after port city Porbandar but later it was changed to Surat. The other warships of this class are INS Visakhapatnam, INS Mormugao, INS Imphal. The ship has the distinction of being the first Artificial Intelligence-enabled warship of the Indian Navy.
