Project 11356 frigate INS Tarkash being built by Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad will be triumphantly handed over to Indian Navy on Nov 9, a source in the shipyard told Central Navy Portal.
INS Tarkash is the second Talwar-class ship being built for Indian Navy under the contract signed in 2006.
Yantar shipyard won the tender for three such frigates and began construction of the lead ship INS Teg in the summer of 2007. Afterwards, building of other ships started – frigate INS Tarkash (laid down in Nov 2007, launched in 2010) and INS Trikand (laid down in June 2008, launched in May 25, 2011).
First three Project 11356 frigates were built by Baltiysky Zavod shipyard (St. Petersburg) in 1999-2004, commissioned into Indian Navy and are currently in service.
