Hey mate, but aren't they meant for the carrier battle groups, or are they meant for single mission roles? If they are meant for CBG, they will be placed most likely at the same ports like the carriers right?

I know that first 2 Shivlaik class frigates have gone to ENC, unsure where 3rd will be deployed or follow on orders. I know though IN is dramatically upgrading ENC with recent inductions of INS Jalaswa, Shivlaik class, new fleet tankers and many more inductions. Also I hear INS Viraat will go to ENC after induction of Vikramditya into WNC, I believe until IAC-2 is inducted (or possibly IAC-1 will go straight to ENC).

India signs Rs 300 crore deal with Sri Lankan firm

India has signed a deal worth over Rs 300 crore to procure 80 fast-interception craft (FICs) from a Sri Lankan firm to equip Navy's Sagar Prahari Bal (SPB) being raised after the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. The Rs 300 crore contract for the 80 boats was signed with the Sri Lanka-based SOLAS Marine about three weeks ago and they are scheduled to be delivered in the next three years, Navy officials said here. The Sri Lanka-based firm was selected after a global tendering process by the Navy in June. These 80 FICs will be in addition to the 15 similar boats being acquired from French shipyard Chantier Naval Couach, three of which have already been inducted at Mumbai. With 1,000 well-armed personnel, the SPB will be tasked with the protection of naval and other assets, bases and harbours on both west and east coasts. It was one of the steps announced by the government after 26/11. FICs are small boats, with a crew of five to seven sailors and top speeds of 40 to 50 knots, are equipped with light machine guns. After 26/11, several steps have been taken to boost coordination in intelligence-sharing and operational matters, with fully-networked joint operation centres being set up in different locations.
