Bad weather delaying the actual procedure.

Indian boats have short-range SAMs, Russian ones have nothing. Though the Shtil is thankfully VLS, so the response time should be better than the old launcher.

The ships will be equipped with a universal missile-artillery armament and modern radio means anti-submarine and air defence. Head frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" already launched. Kaliningrad shipbuilders laid back four - Admiral Essen", "Admiral Makarov", "Admiral Butakov" and "Admiral Istomin". The sixth ship will start building in the current year.
At the same time black sea fleet to make six new diesel-electric submarines of 636 project. Two submarines must replenish the combat composition of the black sea fleet before the New year, two more - next year, remaining in 2016 m According to some data, submarines "ascribed" to the team of submarines, which will be based in Sevastopol.

Why does it take so long for Russian naval ships to enter service after launch ?

Far from only.
Many of the enterprises were money starved for almost two decades, sudden cash infusion does not magically make up personal inadequacy. Most of the major builders are looking to boost their work force by anything from 1 to 9 thousand extra personnel.
