The Khukri-class corvette, also known as Project 25, is a class of corvettes intended to replace the ageing Petya II-class corvettes of the Indian Navy.
The first two were ordered in December 1983 and the remaining in 1985. Around 65% of the ship contains indigenous content. The diesel engines were assembled in India, under license by Kirloskar Group.
Four ships of the class were built. As of July 2023, two ships remain in service in the Indian Navy, and a third one has been donated to the Vietnam People's Navy.
