Introduction Let q be a finite field with q elements and G be a finite group of order coprime to q, so that the group algebra [] is semisimple. The most important problem in the area of group algebras is to find a complete set of primitive central idempotents of semisimple group algebra []. The knowledge of primitive central idempotents is useful in finding Wederburn decomposition, unit group of integral group ring, various parameters in error correcting codes [1,2,4,5,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18]. In [3], Bakshi et.al. obtained a complete algebraic structure of [], G metabelian, using Strong Shoda pairs. They further illustrated their result by providing a complete set of primitive central idempotents and the Wedderburn decomposition of certain finite group algebras of indecomposable groups whose central quotient is Klein’s four group. Further, Neha et. al. [12] obtained a complete Wedderburn decomposition of group algebras of all such indecomposable groups using the method developed by Ferraz in [6]. In this paper, we give a complete algebraic structure of [] for some indecomposable groups G, as classified by Milies [7], using the method developed in [3].
