The Kamorta class, or Project 28, is an Indian Navy anti-submarine warfare corvette class built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers. It was developed to give India a domestically designed and built ASW escort for littoral and fleet-support missions. The program is closely tied to India's naval indigenization strategy.
Kamorta-class ships use a corvette-sized hull with reduced signatures, sonar, torpedoes, rocket launchers, guns, and helicopter capability. They are not general-purpose destroyers; their core role is submarine detection and engagement around Indian waters and task groups. Indigenous content and local construction are central to the design story.
The class entered service as submarine activity in the Indian Ocean became more important to Indian naval planning. Kamorta-class ships give the fleet specialized ASW coverage while supporting the broader goal of building more complex warships in India.
