The MH-60R Seahawk is a multi-role maritime helicopter designed for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, search and rescue, and special operations. India signed a contract for 24 MH-60R Seahawk helicopters with the United States in February 2020 under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programme. The procurement contract for the MH-60R Seahawk was valued at approximately USD 2.6 billion. The MH-60R Seahawk fleet was formally inducted into INAS 334 at INS Garuda, Kochi, in March 2024. In December 2025, India approved a ₹7,995 crore sustainment package for maintenance, spares, and operational support of the MH-60R fleet. The MH-60R Seahawk is a naval variant of the Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopter family developed by Lockheed Martin. The Indian Navy is considering an additional order of MH-60R Seahawk helicopters, with the overall operational requirement estimated to exceed 100 helicopters.
