[2] Four vessels were built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) and outfitted at Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL).

The primary role of the Kora class is as surface combatants, representing a modernized version of the prior Khukri-class corvette.

The 3M-24E missile is guided by homing active radar and can carry a 145 kg (320 lb) warhead to a range of 130 km (81 mi) at Mach 0.9 speed.

The Kora class is powered by two diesel engines driving two controllable pitch propellers through two shafts.

The corvette participated in the Republic of Singapore Navy Day celebrations followed by the International Maritime Defence Exhibition (IMDEX) Asia 2001.

In 2012, it was reported that Mauritius had ordered 2 vessels based on this class from the Garden Reach Shipbuilders.
