The Mahé-class minesweeper is a class of mid-1960s small Russian minesweepers designed to counter the threat posed by naval mines. All of them were derivatives of the Yevgenya-class minesweeper.
The Mahé class was designed with glass-reinforced plastic hulls built at Kolpino, USSR. All of the vessels were based at Kochi and undertook various operational commitments such as mine counter-measure exercises, harbour defence, visits to various minor ports, and search and rescue missions.
