Shardul-class landing ships are large amphibious warfare vessels built at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers for the Indian Navy. They are an evolution of the Magar-class amphibious landing ships.

The class has an indigenous content of over 90% with state-of-the-art equipment.

Shardul was the first vessel commissioned at Karwar naval base, INS Kadamba. The second ship Kesari was commissioned at the Visakhapatnam naval base, and later moved to Port Blair. The third ship Airavata underwent sea trials in 2008 and was commissioned in 2009.
