The ships, as part of a battle group of 4 ships began a sustained operational deployment to the South China Sea and the North West Pacific Ocean. the other three ships were {{INS|Shakti|A57|2}}, a ''Deepak''-class fleet tanker, {{INS|Shivalik|F47|2}}, a stealth frigate, and {{INS|Karmuk|P64|2}}, a ''Kora''-class corvette. This battle group was under the command of Rear Admiral [[Ajit Kumar P]], Flag Officer Commanding, [[Eastern Naval Command]]. According to the Ministry of Defence, the two-month deployment, far from India's usual area of operations, along with naval exercises with a number of countries, aimed to demonstrate the Indian navy's operational reach.<ref name=indpr>{{cite news|title=First bilateral maritime exercise between India and Japan|url=http://indiannavy.nic.in/sites/default/files/PRel_120609_JIMEX12_Indio-Japan-Ex.pdf|access-date=17 January 2013|newspaper=Indian Navy Press Release|date=9 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140109235842/http://indiannavy.nic.in/sites/default/files/PRel_120609_JIMEX12_Indio-Japan-Ex.pdf|archive-date=9 January 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=orf>{{cite web|last=Mohan|first=C Raja|title=Analysis: Japanese Navy|url=http://www.orfonline.org/cms/sites/orfonline/modules/analysis/AnalysisDetail.html?cmaid=38345&mmacmaid=38346|publisher=Observer Research Foundation|access-date=17 January 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130415132910/http://www.orfonline.org/cms/sites/orfonline/modules/analysis/AnalysisDetail.html?cmaid=38345&mmacmaid=38346|archive-date=15 April 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

During the deployment the battle group participated in passage exercises with the navies of the countries visited. The 'passage exercises' focussed on maritime security cooperation, which included humanitarian aid & disaster relief operations and 'visit, board, search and seizure' (VBSS) drills for anti-piracy operations. These exercises aimed to increase naval inter-operability, enabling the two navies to function together smoothly during possible disaster-relief operations. In addition, during the port visits, the fleet commander along with the commanding officers of the ships met high-ranking officials of the navy, state administration, port management, coastal security organization, police, and other stakeholders of maritime security in the countries visited, to share professional experiences and exchange
best practices in areas of mutual interest.<ref name=indpr /><ref name=orf />
