The Indian Navy will on July 1 commission its latest stealth multi-role frigate, Tamal, at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, Russia — the last warship to be inducted from a foreign yard in line with the government's sharp focus on the Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and Make-in-India initiatives, the navy said on Sunday.
NEW DELHI:
The commissioning ceremony will be presided over by the Western Naval Command chief, Vice Admiral Sanjay J Singh. The frigate is expected to reach India's west coast in September and will form part of the navy's Mumbai-based Western Fleet, HT learns.
Tamal is the eighth in the series of Krivak class frigates inducted from Russia over the past two decades, and will boost the country's maritime power in the Indian Ocean region.
