INS Tamal Commissioned in Kaliningrad, Marks End of Foreign-Built Indian Navy Warships
- On July 1, the Indian Navy commissioned INS Tamal at Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad, marking the last foreign-built major warship for India.
- India's move to commission INS Tamal results from a policy shift under Atmanirbhar Bharat, driven by sanctions and supply disruptions that accelerated self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
- Indian Navy's INS Tamal features 26% indigenous systems, including BrahMos missiles and HUMSA-NG sonar, with advanced weaponry and network-centric capabilities.
- Expected to join the Western Fleet by September, INS Tamal will strengthen Indian maritime security in the Arabian Sea and near Karachi.
- Beyond commissioning INS Tamal, India’s Project 17A program advances domestic shipbuilding, positioning the country as a global defense manufacturing hub and strengthening strategic autonomy.
