The ship construction was started with the first steel cutting ceremony on 17 September 2014 at PAL Indonesia shipyard in Surabaya. Her keel was laid down on 18 January 2016. The Dutch-built module was transported to PAL Indonesia shipyard for final assembly. The frigate was launched on 29 September 2016.[4] She underwent her first sea trial on 26 April 2017.[14] The ship was handed over to the Indonesian Navy on 30 October 2017.[15] I Gusti Ngurah Rai was officially commissioned on 10 January 2018 by Commander of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto at Benoa Port, Bali.[16]

The ship finished her FFBNW (Fit For But Not With) refit project, which consisted of four work stages, and was formally handed over to the Indonesian Navy on 3 November 2020. The refit project included the installation of the Rheinmetall Oerlikon Millennium Gun close-in weapon system and integration of the Sensor, Weapon and Command (SEWACO) system.[17]
