INS Khanjar is a -class corvette, currently in service with the Indian Navy.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

On 30 November 2002 on the high seas off the coast of Vizhinjam, a mock attack drill was being staged, with the Khanjar targeting INS Jamuna, a hydrographic survey vessel carrying media persons and VIPs, including Air Vice Marshal R. D. Limaye of the Southern Air Command. This was part of the Navy Week celebrations.[2]

Khanjar along with INS Kora was on a visit to Kolkata between 28 and 30 November 2025 as part of that year's Navy Week celebrations. The ships were open to public visitors.[3][4] She also participated at the International Fleet Review 2026 held at Visakapatanam.[5]
