INS Kamorta is the first of four anti-submarine Kamorta-class stealth corvettes which has been built for the Indian Navy.

It is a significant step towards India's pursuit for self-reliance in indigenous warship building, bringing closer home Indian Navy's quest to be a true Blue-Water Navy with ships and submarines designed and built within the country. She was designed and manufactured by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), launched on 19 April 2010, as part of Project 28, approved in 2003. The ship was named after Kamorta island in Andaman and Nicobar, India .
