## Role

The patrol vessels carry out fisheries protection, anti-poaching, counter-insurgency and search-and-rescue operations in coastal areas and in the exclusive economic zone. The vessels of the "Trinkat" class are named after islands from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands or the Lakshadweep Islands.[citation needed]

While the older INS Tarasa and INS Tarmugli were transferred to Seychelles Coast Guard and INS Tillanchang was transferred to Maldivian Coast Guard, newer ships bearing the original names were launched starting in 2016.

The new Script error: The function "ship_prefix_templates" does not exist. was commissioned at Vizag on 23 May 2016.[3] These ships are similar in design and armament to the Trinkat-class ships that were transferred to Maldives and Seychelles, with added capabilities for enhanced endurance.

The newer Script error: The function "ship_prefix_templates" does not exist. was donated to the Maldives in May 2023.[4][5] The older  missing name (formerly INS Tillanchang) was transferred back to India, and after inspection, was decided to be refitted and recommissioned.
