This would be its last warship to have been built outside the country.

In a social media post on X, the Indian Navy shared a video on INS Tamal, describing the journey and specifications of the warship.

The commissioning ceremony was presided over by Western Naval Commander Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh, as the Chief Guest, in the presence of many high-ranking Indian and Russian government and defence officials.

The ship is christened as "Tamal" and is the eighth of the series of Krivak class frigates inducted from Russia over the past two decades, with Tamal itself being the second ship of the Tushil Class, which are the upgraded versions of their predecessors, Talwar and Teg classes, having three ships each.

"India as part of the broader contract for Tushil class is also building two similar frigates called the Triput class at Goa Shipyard Limited with transfer of technology and design assistance from the Russian Side," read an official statement from the Ministry of Defence.
