Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) has received the contract to license-build two follow-on Talwar (Project 1135.6)-class frigates for the Indian Navy in-country, India’s Ministry of Defence announced on 30 January.

The frigate, which derives its design from Russia’s Admiral Grigorovich (Project 11356M) class, will be constructed under an inter-governmental agreement signed between Moscow and New Delhi in October 2016.

Under the agreement, which will see the delivery of four new Project 1135.6 frigates to the Indian Navy by 2026, Russia’s Yantar Shipyard will build two vessels in Kaliningrad, while GSL will construct the remaining ships in Goa with technical assistance from Moscow.
