Russian Yantar Shipyard to complete India’s project 11356 frigate “Tushil” in 2023
Yantar Shipyard plans to complete the Tushil first frigate of project 11356 for India in 2023, shipyard CEO Ilya Samarin told TASS.The Tushil was launched in October 2021. The Tamala second frigate of project 11356 prepares for float.
Yantar was building six frigates of the project for the Black Sea fleet, which received Admiral Grigorovich, Admiral Essen, and Admiral Makarov. The construction stopped after Ukraine refused to sully engines for the frigates. Two frigates, the Tushil (former Admiral Butakov) and the Tamala (Admiral Istomin) are currently being built for India.
Russia and India signed contracts in November 2018 for the delivery of four frigates of project 11356. Two frigates will be built by Yantar and another two by Goa Shipyard Limited.
Frigates of project 11356 fight submarines and warships in brown and blue waters and repel air attacks both independently and within formations. They are armed with A-190 100mm artillery gun, antiaircraft missiles, including Kalibr and Shtil (BrahMos in India) and torpedo armaments. The warship can carry a Ka-27 helicopter or its modifications. The displacement is 3620 tons, the length is 124.8 meters. Full speed is 30 knots and the cruising range is 4850 miles.
About Project 11356 frigates
The Indian Navy already operates six Talwar-class frigates. Also as the Project 1135.6, it is a class of guided-missile frigates designed and built by Russia. A modification of the Krivak III-class frigates, the Project 1135.6 Talwar-class is fitted with a number of « Make in India » sub-systems.
The two follow-on Project 1135.6 frigates are to integrate the BrahMos cruise missile system in place of the 3M-54E Klub-N anti-ship missile and “advanced sensors”.
The Project 1135.6 warships are capable of reaching top speeds of 30 knots, have an endurance of around 30 days. They have a length of 124.8 meters and a displacement of about 4,000 tons. They are fitted with a flight deck to carry a helicopter for anti-submarine warfare missions.
The new frigates will deeply bolster Indian Navy capabilities in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) as the service is dealing with a shortage of 10 frigates out of the 24 that it needs.

Can you please share the source, I am not able to find. The last update I had was they were bidding for it. I couldn't find any contract awarding.
From Novembers GRSE analyst con call. There you have progress stage of the 3 P-17A now & rate of progress. Cmde explained elsewhere to another question in detailed about how much progress happen at what stage of completion, very detailed.
Hmm...then I think they are yet to sign the contract. They have just disclosed that L&T will build it. Similarly they announced for FSS and NGMV which will be built by HSL and CSL respectively but the contract signing is still pending.
I highly doubt this. They will release the RFP by next year then by 2024 only they will disclose who won.
FSS was nominated to HSL. CSL won L1 tender.
I also haven't heard of L&T and CTS contract.
We also have 14 FPVs to be ordered soon for ICG.
Maybe he is combining the two requirements.
Regarding CTS, the RFI came out in 2018. DAC approval in 2019. No news since then, untill I came across this pic on reddit some time ago.
To me it seems a list of future contracts. Let's see. L&T are quickly building the hulls outsourced by GRSE.
If something has been awarded, we might see something by atleast mid 2023.

Above are all official IN figures. There was thus was a jump of 4 in the 2 months between August and October.
There are no press release or any public notification of contracts signed in that time.
3 are "likely" to be Cadet Training Ships and 1 is still unknown.

Are these numbers the ships which are under construction or the one which are ordered?
I think this distribution is correct.
