India to Receive Three Russian Krivak IV Class Frigates by 2012 | India Defence
India to Receive Three Russian Krivak IV Class Frigates by 2012
Russia will fulfill its obligations on schedule to supply three Project 11356 frigates to India by 2012, a shipbuilding industry official said on Friday to RIA Novosti.
Russia is building three Project 11356 Krivak IV class guided missile frigates for the Indian Navy at the Yantar shipyard in Russia's Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad as part of a $1.6 billion contract signed in July, 2006.
"The contract's deadline is 2012. We are not expecting any delays at this point," general director of the Yantar shipyard Igor Orlov said at the 4th International Maritime Defense Show in St. Petersburg.
The official said the hulls of all three vessels had been laid down at the shipyard.
"The first ship will be floated out this year, the second, probably, in spring 2010, and the third - a bit later,"
he said, adding that the Indian government had provided sufficient and timely project financing.
A delegation of Indian military officials, led by India's deputy chief of the naval staff, Vice Adm. Raman P Suthan, visited the Yantar shipyard in October last year and said it was satisfied with the pace and the construction quality.
Russia previously built in 2004 three Krivak class frigates - INS Talwar, INS Trishul and INS Tabar - for India, but they all were delivered late.
All of the new frigates will be armed with eight BrahMos supersonic anti-ship cruise missile systems and not the Club-N/3M54TE missile system, which was installed on previous frigates.
The Krivak class frigate has deadweight of 4,000 metric tons and a speed of 30 knots, and is capable of accomplishing a wide range of maritime missions, primarily hunting down and destroying large surface ships and submarines.

you are right. The one under construction as you see in video is seemingly is the 3rd and the last one of Project 15-B. As soon as the 3rd one is out, navy will order project 15-B destroyers as a follow on project(class of ships not known yet) which was earlier approved by govt this year. This class will have 4 ships that will be built.
Project 15A has taken unreasonably long time due to numerous design changes from the previous delhi class. Meanwhile slowly as class stabilization is attained, 15-B destroyers are likely to be produced more faster and cheaper too. All depends on the design differences of 15-B from 15-A. Very less info available at this time.
Navy wants the first of 15-B to roll out in 4 years after ordering and the rest 3 in each of the successive 3 years.

Made-in-India 'INS Shivalik' to be inducted soon
NEW DELHI: Soon, very soon, India will add another lethal punch to its growing ‘‘blue-water’’ warfare capabilities by inducting an
indigenously-designed and manufactured ‘‘stealth’’ frigate.
The 5,300-tonne frigate, INS Shivalik, armed with a deadly mix of foreign and indigenous weapon and sensor systems, is currently undergoing ‘‘advanced’’ pre-commissioning sea trials.
Interestingly, apart from Russian Shtil surface-to-air missile systems, Klub anti-ship cruise missiles and other weapons, the multi-role frigate is also armed with the Israeli ‘Barak-I’ anti-missile defence system. Already fitted on 11 frontline warships like aircraft carrier INS Viraat and destroyer INS Mysore, the 10-km range Barak-I can intercept incoming Harpoon and Exocet missiles, launched from platforms like P-3C Orion aircraft and Agosta-90B submarines which Pakistan has acquired from US and France.
‘‘INS Shivalik is the first stealth frigate to be designed and built in India. It’s a matter of great pride for the country. It should be ready to enter service in Navy in November,’’ said director-general of naval design, Rear Admiral M K Badhwar. The Project-17 to construct three stealth frigates — the other two, INS Satpura and INS Sahyadri, will be delivered in 2010-2011 — at a cost of Rs 8,101 crore at Mazagon Docks has, of course, been plagued by delays ever since it was approved by the government in 1997.
But now, with the programme on the verge of completion, the defence ministry has approved Project-17A to construct seven more frigates, with even more stealth features, for around Rs 45,000 crore. Navy initially wanted two of the seven new frigates to be built abroad to avoid time overruns. But MoD shot down the proposal, holding that four will be built at Mazagon Docks in Mumbai and the other three at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers at Kolkata, said sources.
Navy currently has 34 warships and six submarines on order to ensure its force-levels do not dip below the existing 140 or so warships. The new inductions will help Navy strengthen its role as a ‘‘potent maritime force’’ and ‘‘stabilising influence’’ in the Indian Ocean, capable of ‘‘destruction of enemy’’ and deterrence as well as ‘‘coercive’’ and ‘‘peace’’ diplomacy.
The stealth features incorporated in the Shivalik-class frigates, including inclined surfaces, will considerably reduce their radar cross-section. To reduce the noise signature, the designers have gone in for low-noise propellers, propulsion devices and machinery, as also ‘‘vibration damping’’.

Technology for bridges: Navy interested, to make warships stronger
Several years ago, the Konkan Railway approached city based DRDO - R&D Engineers - with this query: would they be able to reinforce several dilapidated railway bridges using Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites? “When Konkan railway contacted us, we told them we were still in the process of developing the technology. Now the technology is fairly developed and the Indian Navy is one of the interested customers,” said Dr Makarand Joshi, scientist, DRDO.
FRP composites can be wrapped like a bandage on columns that have developed cracks. Once repaired with FRPs the columns are said to be stronger than their original structure - this is how oil companies rehabilitated their structures in Bhuj after the earthquake in 2002. The R and D (E) is part of a Navy project in Kolkata.
Part of this warship will be fabricated with a Fibre Reinforced Polymer, which will make it lighter and tougher; it will be easier to maintain. The Navy structure will have an additional advantage-it will be a smart structure, which will be able to communicate if it has developed a fault. Scientists will inject sensors into the FRP structure, which will be hooked up to a computer and the data will be decoded by scientists who will know if the structure develops deficiencies
“The Indian Navy ships are exposed to harsh conditions during operations; they are interested in strain monitoring structures for their ships,” said Joshi. “The challenge is to use the sensor inputs to isolate the damaged location of the structure. We have developed that algorithm,” he added. R&D scientists say they could graduate to making different parts of the ships like sonar dome enclosures or even ship hulls using FRP composites, which could replace heavier metals.

It seems like smart skin for Navy...
may in future they develope MAWS and RAM coating for ship also...

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) today discussed acquisition of 10 warships and 80 radars for the Navy aimed at strengthening coastal security, identified as a priority after the Mumbai attacks.
The 10 warships -- six frigates with advanced stealth features and four corvettes -- would be built indigenously beginning 2010 and would be delivered before 2017, Defence Ministry sources said.
These warships would be built at an average cost of Rs 2,800 crore each, they added.
The Navy was originally interested in buying five of these 10 ships from abroad, as Indian shipyards' order books were currently full and the foreign shipyards would be able to deliver them within a short duration, they said.
However, Defence Minister A K Antony had pressed for ordering the warships with Indian shipyards to boost indigenisation and the domestic defence industry.
The Navy already has 34 warships and six submarines on order at Indian shipyards. It currently has about 140 warships in its fleet.
The coastal radars are being procured to enhance surveillance in coastal areas.
After 26/11, the government has accorded high priority to strengthen coastal surveillance and security apparatus and in this regard, the Navy has been made overall in-charge.
The CCS was chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and attended by Antony and Home Minister P Chidambaram.
Navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma later met Chidambaram to discuss coastal security issues, sources added.

With so many defence and civil orders in place, it is time to expand the shipyards and host bigger cranes and drydocs.
MDL is expanding for sure but there aren't much news about expansion projects. Infact we should be building carriers from at least 2 shipyards rather than only CSL.
In this age of booming shipbuilding business , how are we going to handle civil and defence shipbuilding without aggressive expansion?
Why not promote, Bharati shipyard, Hindustan shipyard , ABG etc to go in for defence contracts ?
Proper strategy taken in the right direction could leverage the competitive benefit and lead the Indian shipbuilding industry towards better prospects. Cost competitiveness remains the significant advantage of domestic shipbuilding industry considering the two major parameters of shipbuilding i.e steel fabrication and labor.
