Recent developments
The Indian government approved the purchase of three additional Krivak-III Class frigates on 6 July 2006, at a cost of USD $1.1 billion. The first vessel would be delivered five years after the signing of the contract and the following two ships would be delivered within 12 months (in six-month intervals) after the delivery of the first boat. The new Frigates will be fitted with the BrahMos (PJ-10) anti-ship missile in a vertical eight-cell configuration.[2]
India and Russia are negotiating for building additional Krivak-IV frigates for the Indian Navy.[3]
