India is likely to take delivery of the frigate Tamal by the end of May, marking the arrival of the last imported warship built by Russia under an ongoing defence cooperation programme.
According to News 18, citing sources, the frigate is slated for commissioning into the Indian Navy by June and will feature a robust suite of weapon systems, including BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and anti-submarine rocket launchers.
Constructed as part of Project 11356, Tamal is an upgraded Krivak III-class frigate designed for blue-water operations.

The vessel is equipped to handle multi-dimensional warfare, including air, surface, underwater, and electromagnetic threats.
The induction of Tamal is expected to further strengthen the Indian Navy's operational readiness and power projection in the Indo-Pacific region.

30 years, just six submarines: Why Indian Navy's underwater prowess is at a crossroads

The big takeaways from Operation Sindoor, wherein India substantially degraded Pakistan's air defence, intercepted almost all incoming missile batteries, significantly damaged major Pakistan Air Force infrastructure and, most importantly, delivered a deadly blow to Pakistanimorale, are becoming increasingly clear: the Indian military's advanced stealth prowess, precision ordnance, convergence of multiple assets, survivability and constant analysts believe that the demonstrated power of the Indian Air Force (IAF) can be mirrored in the Indian Navy's submarine force, which can operate undetected under water and inflict lethal damage on adversaries. The navy's submarines are capable of blockading Pakistan's marine entry points, severely disrupting the Pakistani forces' ability to replenish war material, armaments and other supplies required uninterruptedly during a conflict, and strike deep inside Pakistan's hinterland with land-attack Indian Navy has extensive experience of operating various submarine types, including the Russian, German and French designed. With decades of both peacetime and war experience, the Indian Navy well knows the defining role that submarines play in modern warfare. The current conflict in the Middle East, involving Israel, United States and Iran, has further highlighted how critical submarines are to building a modern deterring and attack force. However, despite the impressive legacy, the Indian Navy's underwater capabilities are at a crossroads, prompting a review of its long-delayed 30-year submarine plan, launched in 1999, to build 24 submarines—including six nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs)—by 2030. As this plan nears conclusion, the outcome is falling significantly short of projections. So far, only six Scorpene-class submarines have been built under Project-75. The last of these six boats, INS Vagsheer, was commissioned this January behind Indian Navy's 30-year submarine plan had aimed to boost indigenous shipbuilding and reduce reliance on imports. The plan envisioned a phased approach, starting with foreign technology transfer and progressing towards indigenous development, to equip the force with formidable undersea deterrence in the Indian Ocean and beyond. However, the plan has faced delays, including sluggish procurement, budgetary constraints and operational of today, the Indian Navy operates just 19 submarines: 16 conventional, two nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), and a leased nuclear attack submarine. This is against a target of 24 submarines. Moreover, a majority of the conventional submarines are nearly three decades old whereas the three nuclear-powered submarines are considered insufficient to counter the growing challenges posed by Pakistan and second phase of the plan, Project-75 India, or P-75I, which aims to build six next-generation conventional submarines equipped with air independent propulsion (AIP) system, remains pending in the final evaluation the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (MDL) announcing in January that it was invited by the ministry of defence (MoD) to begin negotiations for the approximately Rs 70,000 crore deal, progress has in collaboration with Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), is the sole remaining contender for the project after Larsen & Toubro's (L&T) bid was declared non-compliant. The price bid was submitted on August 1, 2023, and the field evaluation trial results were received by MoD on July 26 last year. The commercial bid was opened on January 16, 2025, but no further invitation for negotiations has been extended to project cost, estimated at Rs 43,000 crore a decade ago, has surged to around Rs 70,000 crore due to inflation, currency fluctuations and technological upgrades, making it India's most expensive defence deal till of the most crucial features of P-75I submarines is the AIP system, which allows submarines to remain submerged for over two weeks without surfacing—a critical capability for blue-water operations far from the Indian to officials familiar with the development, MoD's silence after the commercial bid was opened has raised concerns. L&T has submitted multiple representations to the government, questioning the process that excluded its bid and that of Spanish shipbuilder Navantia. The officials argue that while the German AIP is the only sea-proven system, the navy still evaluated the L&T-Navantia AIP on a land-based which has significant contribution in the P-75 programme, has committed to a high level of technology transfer and believes its third generation AIP will be ready by 2027, well before any contract-signing and official highlighted that with only MDL being in the picture, the deal could become a single-vendor situation—potentially problematic under procurement avoid this, a proposal is under discussion to invite both MDL and L&T for price negotiations. By the time these talks advance, L&T is expected to have Navantia's sea-proven AIP system ready, which could give the government better negotiating leverage and wider choice.P-75I was initiated in November 2007 but soon ran aground due to stringent requirements laid down by the Indian Navy. Several global submarine manufacturers found these to be unfeasible. Initially, TKMS, Navantia, South Korea's Daewoo, Russia's Rubin Design Bureau (via Rosoboronexport), and France's Naval Group were in the fray. But the navy's insistence on a proven AIP system led to a situation wherein the French and Spanish firms could not propose their solution, while Russia deemed the tender as 'unrealistic' and the meantime, to quickly address the shortfall in the submarine fleet, the navy, with MoD's support, is considering the procurement of three additional Scorpene submarines, with 60 per cent indigenisation, including critical technologies developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) through MDL. This is aimed to complement the current six submarines before moving onto the much more ambitious P-75I new generation submarine programme was approved in the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) in July 2023 and announced on the 15th of the same month during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Paris. The process of concluding the deal for three additional submarines is at an advanced stage and expected to be inked shortly.'It is important that the Indian Navy progresses on these projects in tandem, and not on a 'this or that' basis,' said a senior official familiar with the programmes. 'We need boats of different types and quickly as much of our fleet will become obsolete soon. Each small delay pushes us back by years since the delivery time of a submarine, post the signing of contract, can be anywhere between seven to nine years. We are also in a geopolitical situation today. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) technology partners should transfer complete IPR (intellectual property rights) and design technology for current and future needs.'As India advances on the P-75I program, Pakistan's military has continued to build its maritime capabilities at pace. In April, China delivered its second Hangor-class submarine equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, confirming Beijing's efforts to strengthen the navy of its all-weather ally to back its growing presence in the Arabian Sea and the Indian delivery was part of the eight-submarine deal with Pakistan, worth around $5 billion. Pakistan is likely to acquire all eight submarines over the next decade, which arguably puts it ahead of India in underwater warfare capabilities. The deal is in addition to four modern naval frigates that China has supplied to Pakistan in the past few is all part of the Chinese Navy's steady expansion in the Arabian Sea, where it is developing the Gwadar port in Balochistan. China operates the world's largest and most rapidly expanding navy. Its submarine fleet is projected to reach 65 this year and 80 by to India Today Magazine- EndTune InMust Watch
