'''''Kalvari''-class submarines''' were the first [[submarine]]s inducted into the [[Indian Navy]]. They were variants of the early Soviet {{sclass2|Foxtrot|submarine|1}}s. Four of the class served in the Indian Navy. Four additional variants of the later Foxtrot class were inducted as the {{sclass|Vela|submarine|4}}.
