The ''Kora''-class corvettes were designed by India's Naval design bureau under Project 25A, as a replacement for the Russian-designed [[Petya-class frigate|Petya II-class]] corvettes of the [[Indian Navy]]. The first two were ordered in April 1990 and latter two in October 1994. The class was to be outfitted with the [[Integrated_Guided_Missile_Development_Program#Trishul_missile_system|Trishul SAM]], but following the cancellation of the Trishul project, a shoulder-launched SAM was adopted. | The ''Kora''-class corvettes were designed by India's Naval design bureau under Project 25A, as a replacement for the Russian-designed [[Petya-class frigate|Petya II-class]] corvettes of the [[Indian Navy]].
