List of active Indian Navy ships

The Indian Navy (IN), which is the naval warfare branch of the Indian Armed Forces, has approximately 135+ warships on active commission.

By forethought, the IN's Maritime Capability Perspective Plan (MCPP) for the period 2012–2027 had set the objective of the service becoming a 200-ship fleet by 2035; however, that number has since been reduced to 175 in December 2019 – principally owing the IN's dearth of budgetary founding, its ageing fleet and delays in the construction of naval assets. By certain calculations, the IN is still estimated to comprise a future total of 155-160 ships by 2030.

By inventory, the IN's principal assets include its aircraft carrier component – the service has operated a total of four aircraft carriers since 1961; its submarine component – which presently includes a strategic submarine force; and its amphibious component – which principally oversees humanitarian operations. Nevertheless, the IN still lacks certain capability-specific assets – such as mine countermeasures vessels, or are quantitatively inadequate – such as attack submarines.

The IN's fleet inventory is divided amongst its three regional formations:

• Western Naval Command (WNC): Headquartered in Mumbai, it consists of the Western Fleet – responsible for naval operations in the Arabian Sea, which flanks India's western coastline. Given its geographical location, it is central to any conflict involving Pakistan.
• Eastern Naval Command (ENC): Headquartered in Visakhapatnam, it consists of the Eastern Fleet – responsible for naval operations in the Bay of Bengal, which flanks India's eastern coastline. In addition, it serves as the home command of India strategic submarine fleet – which oversees the country's nuclear second-strike deterrence.
• Southern Naval Command (SNC): Headquartered in Kochi, it is the IN's largest command – responsible for service's training requirements.
