On 29 August 1940, the Indian Government placed an order for two sloops, HMIS ''Godavari'' and {{HMIS|Narbada}} with [[John I. Thornycroft & Company]].<ref name="sloops p6,71">{{Harvnb|Hague|1993|pp=6, 71}}</ref> ''Godavari'' was [[Keel laying|laid down]] as [[Yard number]] 1386 at Thonycroft's [[Woolston, Southampton]] shipyard on 31 October 1940, [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 21 January 1943 and completed on 28 June 1943.<ref name="sloops p71">{{Harvnb|Hague|1993|p=71}}</ref><ref name="navhist">{{cite web|last=Mason|first=Geoffrey B.|title=HMIS Godavari (U 52) - Modified Bittern-class Sloop: including Convoy Escort Movements|work=Service Histories of Royal Navy Warships in World War 2|publisher=naval-history.net|date=10 June 2011|access-date=21 February 2018|url=http://www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-18SL-HMIS_Godaveri.htm}}</ref> Following commissioning she was sent to Scapa Flow for trials and working up. She was deployed in home waters for convoy defence on the UK-Gibraltar route. On 22 December 1943 she was involved in a collision with the SS Manchester Progress and was sent for repair in Londonderry.

On completion of repairs in February 1944 ''Godavari'' was nominated for transfer to the Eastern Fleet and convoy defence in the Indian Ocean, where she arrived in April 1944.

On 12 August the [[German submarine U-198|German submarine ''U-198'']] was sunk near the [[Seychelles]], in position 03º35'S, 52º49'E, by [[depth charge]]s from the British frigate {{HMS|Findhorn|K301|6}} (under the command of Lt.Cdr.

Between January and March 1945 she was nominated for support of military operations in Burma. In August she was also nominated for support of the allied landings in Japan as part of Operation ''Zipper'', however this operation was cancelled following the dropping of the atomic bombs and Japan's subsequent surrender.

Her commanding officers in the Royal Indian Navy were:
* From 22 Jun 1943 to 10 May 1944: A/Capt. [[James Wilfred Jefford]] [[Order of the British Empire|OBE]], RIN
