"We are also discussing the prospects of delivering an additional batch of Project 11356 frigates [for India] and the organization of their licensed production on the Indian territory," he added.

As Vice-President of the United Ship-Building Corporation for Warship Construction Igor Ponomaryov said earlier, Russia is in talks with India to sell three Project 11356 frigates earlier designed for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

The Defexpo India 2016 international exhibition will be held in Quitol in the state of Goa in India on March 28-31.

During the exhibition, the Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport is planning to hold talks with Indian partners to discuss joint projects for the Indian Armed Forces’ further upgrade.

India already operates six Talwar-class frigates, which are the Project 11356 frigate’s predecessors developed for export. The vessels entered service in 2003-2004 and 2012-2013.
