Last year, India transferred a HAL-produced Dornier 228 turboprop aircraft to the Mauritius Coast Guard, the maritime branch of the police.

Mauritius also received a $100 million fund from India to procure needed security equipment for its Coast Guard. Mauritius will utilize the funds to procure military equipment, including aircraft and patrol boats, from Indian defence equipment manufacturers.

In November 2018, India retrofitted Mauritius Coast Guard Maritime Air Squadron HAL Do-228 aircraft with 7.62 mm machine gun pods to combat criminal activities.
