The first indigenously built Talwar Class frigate, 'INS Triput', was launched by Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) on July 24, 2024, for the Indian Navy.
In 2016, India and Russia agreed to acquire four Admiral Grigorovich-class (Project 1135.6) stealth frigates, with two built in Russia and two in India under a technology transfer arrangement.
Goa Shipyard Limited signed a $500 million agreement with Russia's Rosoboronexport in 2018 for technology transfer, design, and assistance in building two frigates in India.
The frigate is equipped with Brahmos missiles and the Shtil-1 air defense system, measures 125 meters in length, and can reach speeds of up to 28 knots powered by Zorya gas-turbine engines.The Talwar-class frigates, including the newly launched 'INS Trikand', are equipped with advanced weaponry and sensors, including BrahMos or Klub anti-ship missiles, and the Shtil-1 air defense system.
The delivery of these frigates faced delays due to COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
