Indian Naval Ship Tarkash, a stealth frigate of the Indian Navy, departed Port Louis, Mauritius, on June 22, 2026 on completion of her port call for further deployment in the South West Indian Ocean Region.

During the visit, the ship's company participated in a range of harbour activities, including a friendly yet keenly contested volleyball match and professional training capsules for personnel of the Mauritius National Coast Guard. The ship was also opened to visitors on June 21, 2026, drawing approximately 450 members of the Indian diaspora and the local community, further strengthening people-to-people ties.

Captain Rohit Mishra, Commanding Officer of INS Tarkash, called on Rampersad Sooroojebally, PMSM, Commissioner of Police, and Anurag Srivastava, High Commissioner of India to Mauritius. The ship additionally hosted personnel of the Mauritius National Coast Guard for a yoga session on June 21, 2026 to commemorate the International Day of Yoga 2026.

The visit reaffirmed the close and enduring ties between India and Mauritius and underscored India's commitment to enhancing maritime cooperation, regional security and the vision of MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions).
