History
Developed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers to bolster India's coastal security infrastructure following the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, INS Tarmugli (T91) was commissioned into the Indian Navy in March 2016. Operating under the Eastern Naval Command, the vessel was actively deployed for exclusive economic zone surveillance, anti-poaching, and search-and-rescue operations in the strategically vital Bay of Bengal. In May 2023, reflecting India's commitment to regional maritime security, the warship was decommissioned from Indian service and gifted to the Maldives National Defence Force, where it currently serves as MCGS Huravee.
