The Khukri-class corvette were a class of corvettes intended to replace the ageing Petya II-class corvettes of the Indian Navy.

The first two were ordered in December 1984 and the remaining in 1985. The diesel engines were assembled in India, under license by Kirloskar Group. Around 65% of the ship contains indigenous content.
