Indian Naval Ship Tarkash, stealth frigate of the Indian Navy, arrived at Port Victoria, Seychelles on June 12, 2026 during her ongoing operational deployment to the South West Indian Ocean Region.

The ship escorted Seychelles Coast Guard ship PS Zoroaster from India to Seychelles, on completion of refit at GRSE, Kolkata, reflecting a lasting maritime partnership across construction and sustainment. The transit also underscores interoperability to effectively address shared maritime challenges in the Indian Ocean Region.

During the visit, Captain Rohit Mishra, Commanding Officer, is scheduled to call on senior Government and Seychelles Defence Forces functionaries. Cultural and social engagements will also be progressed during the stay, and critical spares and essential stores will be handed over to the Government of Seychelles.

The port call aims to further strengthen camaraderie, mutual cooperation and bilateral ties between India and Seychelles.
