The '''''Jija Bai'' class''' were seven mid-shore [[patrol vessel]]s of the [[Indian Coast Guard]], designed by Sumidagawa Shipyard Co. Ltd., [[Tokyo]], and jointly built by Sumidagawa and [[Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers]], [[Kolkata]] between 1983 and 1985.<ref name=Eric>{{cite book|title=The Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World: Their Ships, Aircraft, and Systems |first=Eric |last=Wertheim}}</ref>

==Design==
The {{convert|44|m|ftin|adj=on}} long vessels, with a displacement of 181 tonnes, had a top speed of {{convert|25|kn|lk=in}}. The vessels were powered by two MTU 12V538 diesel engines driving two independent four-bladed propellers. The class had a range of {{convert|2,375|nmi|lk=in}} at a cruise speed of {{convert|14|kn}}. The crew of the patrol vessel consisted of 7 officers and 27 enlisted sailors. The vessels were armed with a 40 mm 60 cal Bofors Mk 3 AA. A plan to build eight more boats of the same class was cancelled in favour of {{sclass|Tara Bai|patrol vessel|4}}.
