The '''''Magar''-class''' landing ships are [[amphibious warfare vessel]]s of the [[Indian Navy]], currently in active service. Only two ships of the class were designed and built by [[Hindustan Shipyard Limited]], with fitting completed at [[Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers]].<ref name=br-magar>{{cite web|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Ships/Active/163-Magar-Class.html |title=Magar Class |publisher=Bharat Rakshak |access-date=21 February 2015}}</ref>

==History==
The design of the class is based on the {{sclass2|Round Table|landing ship logistics|0}} ships formerly operated by the [[Royal Navy]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.deagel.com/Fighting-Ships/Magar_a002029001.aspx|title=Magar|website=www.deagel.com|access-date=2017-05-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.usni.org/2014/02/03/indian-amphibious-warship-runs-aground|title=Report: Indian Amphibious Warship Runs Aground - USNI News|date=2014-02-03|work=USNI News|access-date=2017-05-13|language=en-US}}</ref> They can operate two medium-lift helicopters, which are primarily meant for inserting small teams of special forces (e.g. [[MARCOS]]). To discharge a ship's cargo and most of the troops, it needs to be beached, so that it can utilize its bow-door, similar to [[Landing Ship, Tank|an LST]].

The ships are stationed at the naval base in [[Visakhapatnam]] on India's east coast.
