The Khukri-class corvette were a class of corvettes intended to replace the ageing Petya II-class corvettes of the Indian Navy.[citation needed]
The first two were ordered in December 1983 and the remaining in 1985. Around 65% of the ship contains indigenous content.[1] The diesel engines were assembled in India, under license by Kirloskar Group.
